Anybody Have Edelbrock Headers?
Was wondering if anybody has the shorties on there 5.4L? If so do they make a ticking noise on the drivers side?, only under acceleration like mine do?

Sounds to me like a gasket leak. Get some thick paper ones and coat them with Ultra Copper RTV.

I don't think I have a leak...I've replaced the gasket's twice. I pumped air into the tailpipe and sprayed soapy water around the gasket and don't see anymore leaks?
