If you a tapping, ticking, or raspy noise under car or in front of you in the engine compartment as you accelerate, your exhaust pipe could be leaking.

Why do I hear a ticking noise at the exhaust manifold?

Many people confuse an exhaust leak at the manifold with an engine knock, or lifter noise, but often times, it’s an exhaust leak. If the ticking sound appears to be lower down on the engine, it’s likely the flange gasket connecting the manifold to the down pipe, or catalytic converter.
