y pipe creaking - bees in can?

Just got a Warpseed Y pipe installed on my 5-speed, yet to really stomp on it to test it out, but it feels great and sounds great too except...

a creaking sound when I change gears, give it gas, etc.. sounds like the flex section of the y flexing whenever the engine moves on the motor mounts ... or is this the sound of bees in the can?? Never really knew what bees ina can would sound like, but just seeing if anyone else has experienced a creaking.

I literally got it installed today, so maybe I'm just "breaking it in."

Thanks.

dont know how to explain it. My budget rattles a bit, and might have the beez in the can noise. I'm planning to wrap the whole pipe. I heard it helps a bit.

my ypipe makes noise...but the muffler is in the ypipe area...not the muffler

so when the engine is moving...i guess the ypipe is either hitting a heat sheild or its just the flex section making noise around 3500 rpm
