If you have an uppipe, then you already know more than I do. But I doubt he would be complaining about it if was part of the sound of the engine. It should just sound natural, know what I mean? I had an exhaust leak a while ago after doing some exhaust work, and it only happened above 4000 or so. It didn't really sound like a tick though. just my 2 cents.

I also had a ticking sound from the exhast and it was he uppipe leaking at the header

I fixed it with some napa gaskets

If it only comes under boost It probabley is a high pressure exhaust leak

It can sound like a tick to an all out screech. I had it the the MPJ Peformance guys busted their asses until it was done right. It only comes on underboost.
