Just put a loud exhaust under her so you don’t hear the tick
Funny you should mention that. Been thinking about installing a set of BBK ceramic coated shorties. Concerned about increased exhaust sound volume, though.Just put a loud exhaust under her so you don’t hear the tick

Got my GT back! Replacement engine revs smoothly. Everything seems to work just fine. An rough idle problem was due to a new but bad Champion 7989 plug, per my mechanic. The bad 7989 was replaced with one of the old Motorcraft 2 piece plugs and things smoothed right up. Test driving this evening was quite satisfying. I had missed driving my car. Unfortunately, a ticking sound while idling that we thought was solved by tightening an exhaust manifold bolt seems to have returned. I may try to post a video in which the ticking can be heard tomorrow.
No worries. Heard from my intended headers installer. The BBK shorties will increase exhaust volume very little from what I have now. Installer does think I should get a 10 to 15 hp gain from them, though. I know that hp gains from bolt on mods are not directly additive, but the headers, along with my axle-backs, coils, and CAI should provide an appreciable boost over stock hp.What, I can't even.. I don't... We need loud noises!
Glad everything worked out for you.
Thanks!That is good to hear. Good luck with it and enjoy.
