sounds coming from exhaust

Ok, I've had the budget Y pipe on for about a week now, and I noticed something today that I havent before. There is a whistling kind of sound coming from underneath the car under hard accel., I dont know if this is because of the Y pipe and how its supposed to sound, or if I have a leak and need to tighten up some things. Anybody else have this problem, or is this a normal sound?

Try double checking, it might be coming from your hybrid intake. Or it could be an exhaust leak.....

Re: sounds coming from exhaust

try this, when yor car is cold, start it and run your hands over the connections where the y-pipe is bolted to. if it is leaking, then you will be able to feel warm air coming out. the y-pipe does make the exhaust sound a little more "airy" though.

I know its not the intake, I've had that on for a long time and know what it sounds like. But with the exhaust, I've never been in another max w/ a y pipe, but its almost like I can hear the exhaust rushing through the pipe. BTW, it only makes this sound at wot. It might be normal.
