exhaust sounds like a beehive when vtec engages? help?
So i got a new exhaust system worked up, sounded mean without the muffler on, but i felt pretty stupid having to drive i like that for 2 days
i got the new muffler on, its a comptech muffler with custom piping, the welding is pretty bad on the piping but my welding guy closed up the holes, but when i hit vtec at 4900(correct?) rpm in my gsr the thing just makes this horrendous buzzing sound.
is this a result of an exhaust leak? or is there a possibility there is something wrong with this muffler?
i put new gaskets on the piping all around and it still sounds the same, its really disappointing

OP its not an exhaust leak, I had the same problem when I ran 2.5'' piping to a magnaflow muffler with no cat and no resinator.
Order a resinator and it should make it sound alot alot better.

I just got mine done and I have the same problem.
Mine is 2.5 w/ no cat or resonator to a vibrant muffler.
It sounds REALLY good but im also getting a vibration up top. It sounds almost like the piping is rubbing against something. I’m almost certain that that is the cause. I’ll have to check it out this weekend.
