Finally picked up my car with PPE headers installed and there is no ticking noise anymore, even after a cold startup.
The gaskets were fine. My stock exhaust manifold was cracked and is similar to what happened to JoeZ. I also had a little of the the carbon black soot on the heat shield.

I was gettting headers anyways lol, but I didn't know the ticking was actually associated with the stock manifold until I read this thread.

You could get one of these. They have plenty of other uses as well (depending on how handy you are) and have come down in price from a few years ago. There's probably about 30 choices out there between the different mfg'ers.
Edit:
Ha ha, jk... I should keep my mouth shut until I actually try something.

It's probably going to be a more common problem as these cars get older..
Here is my 2008 RH manifold w/117k miles daily driven, pipe cracked right off and remaining piece fused itself to the floating flange..
No leaks at the gaskets. They were clean.
The tricking sound for me was prominent on every first start.. The sound and leak is identified by the carbon black soot. Hidden by the manifold heat shield..!!
Pictures from my last visit to the dealership.
After a battle with Extended Warranty, they finally covered the new parts & labor.

Great thread, ticking here too on cold starts, but very brief. 55K miles, 08.
