Default Clicking noise coming from exhaust

I am hearing a noticeable clicking noise from the exhaust. Its not continuous but its irritating. I only hear it when the car is hot and even when i shut it off. Anyone else having this problem.

could it be condensation( if you have/had your a/c on) falling on it...it cant be a leak because he hears it when the car is off

anyways, i have heard that noise when i cut my car off and close my door, it sounds like water falling on a hot iron(nice sizzle sound)

No i have heard the sizzle sound before. This noise is a kind of loud clang. It sounds like two pieces of metal striking each other even when the car is cut off and cooling down.

Yeah i know it sounds wierd but thats what i am hearing.

The reason I asked about the long tubes is after I put mine in I got a clicking sound also that would continue with the car shut off. Turned out to be condensation dripping on to the headers. Freaked me out at first since it was so loud and the car was off.
