Ever since I got my UDPs and headers installed, I can hear a clicking sound coming from the right side of the engine (when facing the front of the car and looking under the hood).  Clicks right in time with the idle rumble of the exhaust.  Any thoughts folks?

Sounds like it could be a header leak. Carefully, and it's best to do this when the motor isn't hot yet, put your hand right next to where each of the primaries attach to the exhaust ports. Feel any air escaping, in time with the ticks?

I do hate it when sounds come.. man u should come see my mustang.  there is a gear whining in my diffrential ( 4.10) and you can hear a squaking sound from the rear left whil launching or driving the car ( LCA needs regreasing).

and i dont even have time to do anything about it.

Sounds like a possible cause, new headers are supposed to be retighten after a couple warm up/cool down cycles.
