I wasnt sure if this would fall under GAR, or issues/problems. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] If its in the wrong place, please move to wherever desired.

I read a lot about the magnaflow, heard it was nice deep sounding.
I just got one myself recently and installed it. I thought it sounded great in the begining, but now im thinking maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me because I just installed something new and was overjoyed. There is definately that "fart can" sound audible to the ear in my magnaflow!? at around 2-3k rpm theres this higher pitched (zzzzzzz) sound which sounds like either something is vibrating, or theres something stuck in the exhaust setup itself.
What do you think the problem is, my friends guess was maybe the U-bolt clamps werent tight enough, havent tried fixing it yet, will try tommorow.
Anyone else hearing this sound? or are some of you trying to believe that the sound does not exist cuz you dropped in some money on a new "great" system? lol jk.
Any help would be appreciated, and I searched magnaflow and read most of the topics there, and seems like everyones having the best times with their magnaflow... its probably just me!

I have the magnaflow. They all have that fart sound if you ask me. It's just whether it is a slow and mellow fart or whether it's a loud and high-pitched fart. I enjoy my magnaflow's farts...at least people don't hear me farting a mile away.

They have the fart sound if you have a full exhaust. I just have the muffler and it sounds fine!

Might need to weld a resonator....or does it come with one already?

well, i got the cat back and mine sounds nice and deep never zzzzzzzzzz or fart canish. if you just got the muffler or took off your silencer than you will get a nasty sound.

You can always put the resonator back on. Exhaust systems do not really help our cars performance wise

i have a manual and i never get the farting sound......

I think it's different for autos and manuals....

I reved my car in neutral and it sounds fine. Friend did that too and she gets a really high pitched wierd sound.

I have an Auto Si/EX with the full cat back, and have never had that problem at all. It kind of sounds like one of the connections is leaking a bit or something, but thats just my thought.

it was the leakage just as I suspected

scsGrumPyDriveR your girlfriend just has to push the pipes in harder, their probably not in far enough. and tighten those Uclamps!
