you know what, im glad you said that man. i have an exhaust leak on the striaght pipe where i cut out the cat...the 3rd last one but thats under the cab and this is definatly close to the engine compartment, however when i checked underneath....it seems to be coming from the driver side more so than the passenger. so maybe its one of the upper cats, or the mani fold on the driver side....ill inspect the exhaust tomorrow in daylight and when the pipes are cool.
maybe if i have time ill take a video of it so you guys can hear it tomorrow morning.

Does the Hemi engine have roller rockers? I had a car with roller rockers and it tapped bad after a cold start. Figured it was one of the rockers tapping when it first starts up. after a few minutes and enough time for some oil to make it's way up to the rockers it would stop. dunno if that helps.

RE: Realy Loud Tick
well i found what that crazy loud tick was. on the manifold where the headers meet it, the last bolt closest to the cab is missing. and a tiny gap in between the manifold and the headers..get me a new bolt and bolt it back on that baby. thanks for the help guys. i tried to take a video this morning but the camera battry was dead and i dont have the charger with me
