Yes, this exhaust manifold kit is specifically designed to eliminate the common 'HEMI tick'. That ticking sound is almost always caused by an exhaust leak from a warped factory manifold or a broken manifold bolt, which this kit directly resolves. — The ticking is the sound of high-pressure exhaust gas escaping through a small gap between the cylinder head and the manifold. This happens when the thin factory manifold warps due to heat cycles, or when a mounting bolt breaks, releasing clamping pressure. BD's solution addresses both root causes by using a thick-walled, warp-resistant high-silicon ductile iron manifold and a superior fastening system with longer bolts and spacers that withstand thermal cycling. By installing this kit with the included new gaskets, you create a robust, durable seal that permanently stops the leak and the associated noise.
