Tapping noise from the passenger side of exhaust manifold, I've replaced both exhaust manifold gaskets on the manifolds but problem still exist tomarrow Ill replace the gaskets between the exhaust headers and the muffler to see if that resolves the problem. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi there,
Yes i would do the gaskets first, have a listen around the manifold with a length of small hose this will pick up any exhaust leak, start here.
