Resonator removal problem - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Recently I removed my resonator and added an h pipe. Beforehand I had already removed the two rear cats as well as my mufflers, which had a nice sound in my opinion, but I wanted it louder. And i LOVED the sound it made with the h pipe but later that day I noticed a weird fluttering sound. I believe it is the suckback of the exhaust. If I took off slow, revved around 1000 rpm, or as the car down shifted, the sound was VERY noticeable. Especially when between houses or somewhere the sound could bounce. I then added flowmaster mufflers to see if it would decrease the sound. It did for a little while but now it's starting to become more noticeable. Any idea of what this could be? I never hear of anyone having this problem when they take the resonator off.

I was hoping it was something of that nature but it's coming from the exhaust itself.

I had the resonator removed and had an x pipe made. I have not had a problem with the removal. It could be a leak where the pipes come together.
