Does anyone know where this ticking sound is coming from?

Assume you mean that intermittent ticking? Haven't experienced it myself but you're far from alone. Search the board, plenty discussions, not sure if it boild down to a specific cause but harmless the way I remember it.

It's exhaust related, check your header to mid pipe connection - the gasket may need to be replaced. Had the same noise a while back.
