Exhaust ticking sound under hood

[slsnut]

Hello again,

My 03 Edge (3L) is making a slight (but annoying) ticking sound as I accelerate. Is this a commom problem anyone has seen on the 3L? It has 71K on it.

Also Any advice on changing cluster bulbs?

the ticking noise could be from a blown out manifold gasket or the emision tube/ EGR tube is broken or rotted.

my 94 ranger is loud up front because the emisions tube/ EGR is rotted.

Exhaust ticking

Thanks, I found some lame attempt to make up for a gasket failure at the header tail pipe joint... Think I got it.
