I hear a tiny ticking in the morning when the car is warming up. After she warms up it goes away?

Probably an exhaust leak, that seals up when the heads/headers expand from heat.........check it out and retighten the exhaust bolts

when you put your headers on did you re tighten them after a few hundred miles? if not thats your problem. the bolts are a little loose
