Default Clicking noise in y pipe 500 EFI

Its clicking in the y pipe. Loudest under the drive shaft where the pipe bolts to the transom. plate. I used a stethoscope. Are there flappers in the cast alum Y pipe. If thats the problem should i replace or run it the rest of summer.
Thanks Bob

yes there is a flapper. Your choice, probably no hurting anything.
