Interesting. Mine was exhaust drivers side. Now I am beginning to hear a slight tick from the drivers side (bet its exhaust). I wonder how many of us with exhaust bad lifters also had our engine undertray on for most of our cars life. I know mine did! 
By the way the new lifters seem to be of a better design only time will tell.

I first noticed my clicking when driving next to a concrete barrier, which reflected the sound, where normally I wouldn't hear anything from inside the car.
