Guys I think I have this. When I get home after driving and I am just idling with my windows open I hear like a "snap crackle pop" noise from the car - it's difficult to tell what part of the car the noise originates from but I think it may be the dash. After turning the car off the crackling noise continues but fades awway within 10-30 seconds. Could this be the noise described in this TSB??

This TSB is not your problem. Trust me. I have the problem in this TSB and that's not it. The click/tap in this TSB is only heard from the interior and sounds like someone clicking a mouse button from inside the dash on the drivers side.

That sounds like normal exhaust parts contracting, especially around the parts that have heatshields.

Nope my ticking was pretty obnoxious. They narrowed it to faulty insulation on my stock YPipe, they ordered me a new YPipe and should be installed by Friday this week hopefully. I was pretty surprised considering my car is babied, garaged, and only had 6,600 miles on it so far!

Warning to any and all of you with loud obnoxious ticking from under the car that you hear while idling after the car is warm. Sounds like popcorn popping almost or like the ticks a gas stove makes before lighting up, only more erratic and varied in sound.
