Ticking

So your phone made that way louder? That doesn't sound good in the video but its much quieter in person?

I just went out and listened to mine and it sounds the exact same just quiter than the video so I would think your injectors are fine :D

Yeah my dad just told me to chill the hell out lol He used to have an 07 accord a couple years ago and also had the same ticking going on. It's really not as bad as the video makes it seem.
 
Definatly sounds like injectors, and perfectly normal, as for the exaust I think that is also normal, probably just adjusting from having the R18.
 
That's the injectors for sure, however OP may also be hearing the valves too? I've been convinced since about the second week of owning my Si that there's a loose valve, but dealer said a loose one is better than a tight one? I also notice the ticking more just exactly like the OP states in WARMER weather, it seems louder? Oil is thinner, I don't know just drawing conclusions I'm no mechanic but I know what OP is referring to
 
Is it normal for the ticking to become more prominent after hitting a certain mileage? I have 2 levels of ticking noise on my 2013 SI, one that sounds like the injectors (per the dealership), but another sounds like the valves are tweaked. This was after the dealership did an adjustment on the valves. Concerned the engine is already failing, and in 4 months I have completely lost confidence in the quality of this vehicle.
 
So they checked your valves and determined they were out of spec...and adjusted them?
