i have a96 acura tl 2.5 with 135,000 miles on it. I recently had the little muffler that is right after the muffler,looks like a little round muffler replaced with a straight pipe. i did that because it was a liitle loud. but there is still some noise sounds like puttering noise from under the engine around the exuast manifold?i heard that is where most problems of this kind come from? and would a leaking bad exuast or manifold make like ticking noises and also puttering, puffing noise? i need help!

Try placing a large rag on the exhaust pipe with the help of a friend and check for leaks. I suspect the gasket at the manifold and the pipe. But find out where it is leaking. This will also affect the performance of the vehicle as it messes with the readings of the O2 sensor.
