It could very well be an exhaust leak somewhere....follow the path of the exhaust with the car running and listen for the source.

Take a very close look at the header gaskets all the way around. Look for any damaged areas. Then check where the headers each meet the Y-pipe for leaks there as well.

Its very very very commen for headers to leak and yes, its a tapping/ticking sound that gets louder as the rpms increase and tightening the header bolts down as they tend to loosen as the heads warm up. Good luck
