Exhaust headers leak? (tick tick tick )
I believe that my exhaust header has a leak, at idle you can hear a light tick, then when i put the rpms up higher the tick goes faster as the rpms go up. its not loud though. I can hear it from inside the cab if the windows and radio is off. but its still kind of faint.
When the jeep is up to temperature the noise is still there also. the noise is more so noticeable when accelerating, or going up a hill.
would this be a exhaust header leak?
had to put a screwdriver up to it with my ear on the other end to find the tick, and hear it go faster as the rpms go up.

Certainly sounds like it. Our XJ's are famous for cracking headers at the collector.
Lots of guys have replaced with the APN header which is reported to be a Banks knockoff. It's mush cheaper than a Borla or other aftermarket header.
APN= AutoPartsNetwork.. but they changed their URL to www.ineedparts.com iirc. If that doesnt work a Google search should bring it up.

yea they are definitely a lot cheaper.
My jeep would be fine without fixing it for a while right?
