So I've had this for quite some time. I'll tell you the symptoms and you guys tell me what you think. It gets quieter when it warms up. But its still noticeable to me, Most people don't really hear it but I do. It really bothers me when I'm driving up against a wall or another car. Its more noticeable, It also makes a slight "Flutter" When I'm in 5th or 6th and give it slight gas. Anyways, I just need to confirm this is what I'm chasing. And not something more major

I've had one shop tell me its a header exhaust leak but on the passenger side? This tick is from the driver side. This other shop confirmed it was a header leak but he said it was really hard to pinpoint. Let me know what you guys honestly think.

Normal Idle. Fully warmed up.
