Unhappy spitting/crackling noise at high RPMS

i need your guys' help!!!

im soo confused with my freakn exhaust...well ill start from the beginning, i had this MAGNAFLOW universal exhaust got it welded with 2.25" piping...got tired of it cuz it kept spitting...kind of a crackling sound once i hit vtech...or around 4.5 rpm...n so i decided to get a new one...i went with the HKS hi-power universal exhaust...got it welded also with 2.25" and i heard from my cuzins friend and some of my other friends that the reason my MAGNAFLOW was spitting was cuz i had an exhaust leak because any kind of exhaust shouldnt sound like mine...n i didnt think i woulda gotten the HKS hi-power if it spit like the MAGNAFLOW...n i didnt think ne thing of an exhaust leak for the hi-power...cuz it was spitting too...soo what i did was take it back to the shop yesterday after having to deal with it for 2 months...well (thursday) and found out there was a leak on my HKS!!!...so i put flanges on...a pair rite where the muffler is to the piping, rite before the bend...then at the end of the axleback, rite where it starts to the mid pipe...and guess wut happens...still the same result...its still spitting!!!... ...n now i have to go in the morning (friday) to check it out again for another exhaust leak cuz thas what i was thinking it might be again...soo iono guys...wut do you guys think?...i thought maybe it could be cuz my cars an EX...more power than LX or something, cuz dru106 has the INVIDIA with flanges also...but his car LX, and his is fukn awesome...but i kno HKS is just as good, n it shouldnt spit like that...sounds like a fukn ricer exhaust...but ya...guys opinions and needed help please!!! fukn spent $60 putting flanges on, n still go the same result!!!

i know ive pmed or left comments on a white vic with the same universal HKS hi-power exhaust as mine, same canister measurements and everything..cant remember his 7thgen name and if his was an a/t and if it was an EX model and if he got it welded or bolted... i was gonna ask him, but cant find his ID...

HELP HELP!!!

Don't mess with welded mufflers. Get an axle back or full catback and problem solved.

i think the problem is that your piping is too big and thats why its causing the spitting noise. also, do you have your resenator still. if you got the resenator taken out when you got the custom piping the that is DEFINATELY your problem.
