Extremely Annoying Stillen Y-Pipe Noise

I have a 96 SE 5 speed, and I've had my y-pipe on since this summer. When just driving anywhere above 30mph, there is an annoying drone/buzz. I wrapped the flex pipe in header wrap today, and it didn't seem to help. Any ideas to fix this problem? Anyone else have this? Thanks

Check to make sure it isn't rubbing up against anything... Mine doesn't have much of any buzzing sound.

Re: Extremely Annoying Stillen Y-Pipe Noise

I got my stillen y before you, so I guess you have the same ceramic coated one I do. I never get a drone but do get a hiss at full throttle after 4500 rpm in every gear. If you hear rattles when the car is idle or get a drone at low rpm, the pipe is probably not installed correctly. This happened to me when a bad mechanic didn't put my exhaust together properly when installing my short throw shifter. I got the drone and rattle, and hiss at low/mid rpm. Midas of all places fixed it. My exhaust is otherwise stock.
