This is me turning out of my neighborhood and flooring it up a very big hill. (Newnan crew can verify this heh). You can barely hear it in this vid. It is the high pitched noise after 3000rpm in first gear and then a little bit on the 1-2 shift:

OK this vid sucks but you can hear the y-pipe noise very clearly. Same rpm range and also at 1-2 shift:

yah that is a big hill-- havent seen that side of newnan in quite a while... as for the noise... that's really weird.. i wanna hear it in person

 

I dont hear anything wierd...........

 

tyrexx, i had to listen to the video a few times to start hearing it.. but it stands out a good bit now that I've heard it a few times

 

at what seconds do you hear it in the movie? can you describe the sound?

 

at the very beginning of both clips when the car is haeding towards redline

the sound is alomost like something is loose - there is metallic sound... whether it is exhaust leak and pipes or banging or if the valves are tapping idunno

if you have a set of headphones there is no way you can miss the noise

if this helps... listen for any noise other than intake GROWL ....sounds like something is coming loose is the only way i can descibe it

i know it's not the best quality sound. I really need to set up my tripod and real camera and get some outside shots

that way i could tell real quick if it's header leak or valves or nothing at all

 

1. remove headshield above your flex section to the b-pipe
2. remove the prongs off near the y-pipe supporter
3. cut off the cross member that is almost touching the flex section
4. get exhaust wrap and wrap your flex section

 

ya what he said. if your buying header wrap you might as well wrap the whole darn thing imo.

 

wow.. $1.89 for premium.. I got to pay $2.20 here

 

So basically look and see if the y-pipe could be hitting anything?

I was going to do the header wrap regardless but it sounded so quiet except first gear.

 

Sounds like the Y pipe is hitting the catalytic converter heat shield. Get under there and give it a few shots with a hammer and bang it out the way. Mine did it, it sounded like a loose piece of metal banging around.

 

i use plus, still about 1.60 here

 

I still can't hear anything abnormal. It sounds like you have intake and y-pipe?

LEMAR

 

2.39 here

 

i dont hear anything either ? i know when i have had trouble with my exhaust knocking around it is real loud, not sure on this one ?

 

Sounds pretty normal to me.
Just a good growl.

 

Its not safe to drive that fast wet roads

but none-the-less my pipe done the same thing..... except i took it to the exhuast shop since im not very good w/ mechanics / i can't fit under my car?

they told me that it COULD NOT be where the y-pipe meets the cat converter its just too stiff (i argued for the longest) ,, but when they removed the old pipe a couple months ago it was attached to this clip between the front wheels... they cut part of that off and it reduced it a bit..

still makes the noise.. just not as much......

so i don't know what it could be................... they told me it was prolly the hose clamp i put on my b-pipe hanger to keep it from hitting that bar thing..

ive removed the headshield from the cat - b-pipe
