Add a resonator and see if it quite the exhaust down, maybe the type of muffler you have is just plain ****...

Add a magnaflow resonator to your exhaust pipe.

Try a local performance shop that does custom exhausts for the parts.

A resonator looks like this: (just incase you didn't know)

Uhhhhhhh those look like mufflers to me
Resonator is the "bluge" in your exhaust between the cat and the muffler, it dampens the sound.

FastGSR your post have been nothing but BS

Ban +319

To the topic...don't get a cherry bomb, it will make your exhaust louder and they are a POS. Check your exhaust for leaks or damage. The buzz might be the exhaust rubbing against something. Is it an aftermarket exhaust?

DON'T get a cherry bomb........a resonator should help with the sound.
96BLkGSR's description sounds about right..........if it's just a loud annoying buzzing sound it could just be a crappy exhaust/muffler.......

A resonator is essentialy a muffler. They both do the same thing - muffle the sound from your exhaust. Usually these canister style mufflers don't do a good job of it.

You can find one here http://www.kteller.com/store/i...3_110

Buy one that is of equal diameter to your piping, go to a muffler shop, and have them weld it on.

Just incase YOU didn't know this is what a resonator looks like...



The bigger "bulge" is the resonator, the smaller one is called a flex pipe.

Many people think these have performance restrictions, you can be the judge of that.

I know, there seemed to have been some confusion so I was showing exactly what it looks like.
