spell check first of all. second, now that i'm done being a prick, hows your oil level? is there exhaust hangers that are loose? where is the sound coming from? if you can hear it then it should be able to be pin pointed. does it go up in volume or intensity with engine rpm or vehicle speed?

Smart phones are a bitch. Oil level is good, it only does it when the car gets in mid rpm and in 1st and 2nd gear.

but does it go up in intensity with engine rpm, or vehicle speed? im going on a limb and saying it goes with engine speed, which would most likely mean lifters, or just loose oil clearances. again, its a guess. the other thing, pre-ignition is a possible culprit. hows the plugs?

Hehe, sounds like an exhaust leak. Especially since you JUST had exhaust work done. When I deleted my EGR, I had a horrible tick that I thought was my lifters and I thought my engine was gone, but it ended up being that the EGR block off wasn't sealing right to the block.
