I started getting this sound some time last month and due to the aftermarket partsinstalled unable to go to the dealer without removing everything.
I start getting this sound once the car is hot and it seem to go away once the car is at idle for about 5mins. So I was thinking it could be the heat shield but it also goes away when the car is turn off .
The turbo is holding boost fine (just check it with my AP), the car is driving fine, and the sound doesn't happen all the time.

Any ideas???

I was planning on getting the AMS downpipe, but due to this I am at a all stop on mods.

*edited*: I replaced the downpipe this weekend with the AMS downpipe. I looked everywhere and thighten everything that I could see and couldn't pin point where this noise is coming from. Took it to the dealer last week and they tried telling me that having a hi-flow exhaust will cause less back pressure causing a clicking noise. All I could say to the tech was WOW and took my car. Any ideas??? I also noticed that the noise starts when the engine is warm. When it is cold no clicking noise.

Don't want to scare you but i think its coming from inside the engine.

Cant tell. I would recheck all the aftermarket parts that was installed.

Sounds like a loose exhaust manifold heat shield to me. It's not very difficult to remove so I would suggest removing it to see if it still makes that sound.

I hope this is what it is, . This weekend I am going to remove the shield and drive the car over the weekend and see what happens. But I am not sure if this is problem since a tried shaking it by hand and no noise. The thing that bugs me the most is that it only happens when the car is warm.

I have been having bad luck with my car. First the random shut-off problem(that fixed itself) and now this.

This has been in the back of my mind since it started.

Do you have stock exhaust?
It sounds like a piece of sheet metal (like the guards found on the exhaust, if its like my Ralliart) has come loose and is ticking against the piping.

after I installed my 800cc injectors, I noticed a clicking noise also, kinda diesel sounding. I tried fooling around with the same heat shield but to no avail, I have not been able to rid myself of the clicking noise. It is ok to remove that heat shield? I too am going to AMS for a dyno tune at the end of the month. I am hoping they might be able to give me some insight.

The only exhaust part that is still stock is my downpipe and 02 pipe. Which I was going to replace this month but this noise showed up.

Madrican

This is normal I believe. My friend has a GSR which he installed 1000cc injectors with fuel rail and he said it sounds like a diesel now also.

sounds like an exhaust issue bro!

Madrican

What do you mean by exhaust issue? Are you talking about the exhaust heat shield or something else?

did you ever mess with your timing?

Madrican

I am using cobbtuning stage 2 map which I believe it advance/retard the timing.

in the video i hear two different clickin sounds, one of them sounds like an injector pulse(louder and sounds more consistent) the other one i also hear in the background where it increases in sound but with a different pattern that repeats itself. so we talkin about the louder consistent noise or the pattern noise?
