Hey, I also have the SBD kit on my BRZ and have the ticking noise under acceleration along with exhaust fume smell when I warm up my car. I do think it's an exhaust leak possibly underneath the engine at the exhaust manifold flange or at the flex joints.
I am so irritated by the ticking noise and have been running it for almost 2 months now. It gets louder and louder during acceleration like your rubbing two pennies together. On cold start up, I will hear it then it will go away as it warms up, will not hear it on normal idle. I tried replacing the gaskets at the turbo inlet, turbo outlet, and exhaust manifold still hear the sound. Once you kick into full boost you won't hear it because of the loud spool up, but this sound still bothers me during casual everyday driving.
