Yeah, mine does the same thing...I have read about this on here before and it is perfectly normal according to what other people were saying. I think it has something to do with the S/C cooling down.

it would be my guess that what you are hearing is just the exhaust pipe, muffler etc. cooling down. I've noticed on many cars you will hear a 'ticking' type of sound as the metal cools and actually is contracting as a result.

It has nothing to do with the SC since the 2.4 does it too. It's just the performance exhaust cooling - totally normal you have nothing to worry about.
