Name that noise......
OK, so awhile back i installed my WSP Superflo Y-pipe, RT Cat, WSP B-pipe w/ magnaflow resonator and a Stillen (yes Stillen, not Magnaflow) muffler. It sounds awesome. however, recently ive been hearing this noise when i accelerate (the best way I know to describe it is to say that it sounds like the heatshields are just barely touching the exhaust and making a high pitched buzzing noise). So i tore out the heatshields and that has not fixed it. any ideas on what it might be - sorry thats kinda vague. its coming from the rear of the car i think.

Try getting under there and shaking things up to pinpoint where it's coming from. Look for possible mechanical contacts that could be the cause.
Maybe it's just the
stillen rear section

well this thread doesnt entirely suck - i was wondering if anyone had had a similar noise. actually the stillen muffler is pretty expensive and sounds much better than most any other muffler ive heard. ive been under the car several times and cant find a point of possible contact.

Price isn;t everything you know ...
I have a similar rattling thin metal on thin metal on my 03 from 2400-2700 RPM.. i just live with it ... Check all the hangars and bolts and see if they're tightened correcty
And about this ---->

i didnt emphasize it bc it cost more, merely for clarity bc WSP sells a their B-pipe w/ a magnaflow. this way i could hope to isolate it to a single part of the exhaust. (whether it be specific to the muffler, B-pipe, etc.) believe me, i try to get things cheap - got almost my whole exhaust used. anyway, thanks for the advice.

ok, leave your car on, and go behind the car and gently apply pressure on the muffler with your foot, or lighty tap it. If the noise changes, or goes away, it could be a loose piece of metal somewhere in the exhaust. One of my friends had this problem with a skunk2 exhaust for his '95 civic. That is, of course, until his muffler fell off.

I have a full Cattman Exhaust and I have the same problem. That buzzing is driving me nuts. Most people have said to get the new exhaust hangers and it should go away. I am thinking about dynomating the inside of my car so I can't hear it anymore. I would like sugestions also. By the way this thread dosen't suck. Many people have the same problem
