Buzz @ 2500 RPM

I have develped a slight buzz/rattle (hard to differentiate) between 2450 and 2550 RPM's. I initially thought it was the electric motor mounts buzz, but realized it was RPM related and assume it is my exhaust. But, it doesn't happen in park, when I rev, only during driving.

Is this the "bees in a can" phenomenon? Anyone had this, or have any suggestions?

Re: Buzz @ 2500 RPM

Put exhaust wrap around the bends of your y pipe.
This should fix more of the sounds.

And the flex section too? BTW, where do I buy this exhaust wrap?

I get a REALLY bad buzz at around 5500 rpm when the car is cold. Its from the flex section because it sounds like its right under the console.. right where the flex is

This must be my problem, that is where my buzz is someing from, and why I thought it was possibly the motor mounts. Have you tried the exhaust wrap on it?
