Re: question about noise at 3k rpm (yehiknowrite)
Its not always the head shield man, mine is the A-pipe. the inner pipe and outter pipe vibrate against each other at those RPMs. The only fix is getting a header. Probably go after market cause the OEM one is like $500

Re: question about noise at 3k rpm (SwiftTone)
An exhaust rattle at 3k rpm is likely due to an internal failure of the a-pipe (2-1 pipe). There is a TSB (technical service bulletin) regarding this. Some dealers will replace at no charge. I don't think it affects performance, but it sure is annoying, eh? If you plan to get a header, just do that and don't worry about it. I doubt it would be worth paying for a replacement OEM a-pipe.
Good luck and let us know if it is indeed the a-pipe rattle.
