The ticking noise is coming from either my catalytic converter or my resonator, but I can't tell which one because theyre so close together. It doesnt feel like a blockage (can't feel any backpressure, engine doesn't struggle) and there aren't any rattling noises coming from the cat when I go over bumps. 2002 Protege5 with 111000 kms and Megan Racing Cat-back exhaust. Should I be worried?
EDIT: More information: Resonator has about 3000kms on it. Catalytic converter I have no idea, but I don't think it's the factory cat because it was the least rusty piece of the exhaust system when I bought the car. The sound occurs when the car is turned off after being driven fully warm and lasts for about 5 minutes.
EDIT 2: I know it sounds a lot like normal metal cooling noises but for some reason the fact that it started so suddenly having never done it before has me concerned.
