Default JK makes tinging noise when i first start up

I have a 2007 JKU. Whenever I start it up, surly when it is cold, and then go to drive, (apply has) I get a tinging noise a couple of times then after a few minutes, and then it's gone. Any ideas?

the driver side exhaust manifold may be cracked ,you have to remove two bolts and one nut
then wiggle out the heat shield ,if its cracked you'll see it right on top ,

So it has a crack. What's a food recommendation of replacement headers. I want good quality, no Chinese shit. American made. Recommendations?

Mine does this too. I was thinking it might be electrical related, possibly the spark plug wires. I will be checking under the heat shield when I get home. I guess it's time for SS headers.

See "Emissions Related Parts" at the end of page 3. If you're under 80k miles you should be covered - at least that's how I read it.
