C63s valves

Hi, on my C63S, I had the performance exhaust, but the previous owner replaced it with a full cat-back exhaust system that uses oem valve motors. Now, when I turn on the car for about 5 seconds I hear a ticking noise coming from the back by the valves. The valve button works until stops after the ticking stops. It doesn’t do anything after that. Why could this be?
I also checked underneath the car everything seems to be plugged in.

Which Brand ?

I only know aftermarket exhausts which they use the oem valve e-motors. it makes sense.

Ask them.
