need help with exhaust (not which one to get though)
ok so here is the story, bought this DA teg from some 16yr old that installed: megan racing header (ebay), high flow cat (ebay), crush bent 2.5" muffler shop cat back to an aerospeed muffler (huge hole in muffler when i got it), and the header also the bottom of the header was crushed almost shut like 1/4" passage was all that was left.
MY PROBLEM IS THE DAMN BUZZING, im not old enough to mind loud yet, but i hate buzzing exhaust
anyhow, so it obviously needed attention in the exhaust department, so first things first, i got another cheap muffler had it welded on, as well as a few leaks. by the way, this muffler also has a removable silencer (just incase).
STILL BUZZES.
so i get an stock manifold, install it, STILL BUZZING. add silencer to the muffler, STILL BUZZING.
WHAT GIVES. i know the cat isnt causing the buzz, or is it??? its definately quieter, but buzzes no less at all.
anybody have ANY idea of what to try or do to get rid of the buzz without spending $600 on an rsr exmag????
flame away.

check out the cat..when you hollow out the cat, it makes that buzzing sound. i did that on my first car. learned my lesson the hard way :thumdown:
edit: didnt see the high flow cat part, but it still is most likely the cat. its probably just a hollow piece of pipe like other ebay "hi-flow cats"

it is just a piece of crap ebay tube that replaces the stock cat.
also, there is a resonator directly after the cat as well.
