Matt.gauron Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 So this is only my second Subaru and I had an 02 wrx before this. I'm not sure if its maybe just a Subaru thing or if its just a big coincidence. Both cars had/have catless exhaust, the wrx was about 120,000 miles and my legacy has about 95,000. So under a light load and only when I'm just starting from a red light or at a low rpm (> 1000rpm) there is a slight small tick coming from the engine. At first I thought it was my cat coming loose in my wrx because I had a stage 2 tune but now that I got my legacy it has a catles uppipe and makes the same sound. Is this coincidence of maybe the same problem or do all Subarus make this sound. The only other thing I think it might be is maybe valve noise but I'm not positive. Any help or ideas are appreciated!

ras06LGT Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Exhaust leak? Mine's got a small one somewhere near the passenger side header/cross-over pipe. Makes a slight ticking noise (other than the standard Subaru tick). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quick4dr Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Exhaust leak. Check block to manifold gaskets, Or if still stock manifold check cross over pipe gaskets/ then check manifold to up-pipe gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
