The header ticking isn't very noticeable at idle, but driving along anything that can echo back makes it very noticeable. I passed an 18 wheeler today and that even echoed!

The ticking isn't a negative - just a characteristic of the header. You don't hear it in vtec, just when cruising next to something.

if you guys want a video of my ap2 with the megan test pipe and and invidia let me know. PM me your email address.

i thinking adding a testpipe to most exhaust will make it sound louder, better, and more agressive.
