Sounded like mine when I was running headers with high flow cats and stock mufflers. Got rid of the stock mufflers no more rattle can sound. What exhaust you running?

My, that is annoying. Doesn't sound like stock exhaust. Are pipes/mufflers welded on or clamped?

Nice road, btw.

That exhaust is definitely hitting something. As "tinny" as that sounds I would believe it is vibrating against a heat shield under the car. If not, it has to be hitting the tunnel brace. I would get under it and find out what it is within 1/8 inch from. It is moving under torque and hitting something.

Good luck!

sound

I had a similar noise about a year ago when accelerating between 1300rmp-2000rpm or so. It sounded like a howl with a metallic buzz mixed in. The exhaust was stock so I took it to the dealership. They said there was a loose baffle in one of the mufflers, which they said has been happening and replaced the exhaust under warranty. It had been that way since I bought the vehicle new in 2009, just thought it was normal until it got louder and louder after 15000 miles or so. Not sure if that is your problem but it might be worth cheking out.

Thanks for posting the video,

I got one for you William,why does the bottom of my car looks as if it has been driven through 5 years worth of winter weather.The underside of my new car with only 200 miles looks like a rusty bucket.Exhaust and suspension parts.

Nice road, btw.
its got pacesetter long tube headers, a xpipe i picked up from summit replacing the stock resonator, and flow master 10 series mufflers i mean it sounds nice when im getting on it but cruising it is no fun

i think it might be from the mufflers cause there lil 4in squared with only 1
baffle gona take the axle back off see if that help if so time for better mufflers cause i still need some back pressure

and the road is a lil side road off the pali highway here in oahu
pretty scenic out here just gota go off the beaten path
