Default weird squeak from exhaust when idled...

i was wondering can it be the exahust is giving way...
everytime the cars at idle it makes a squeaking sound kind of like its rubbing against something, but the second i rev or start driving the sound goes away...

if i was to replace it with a new exhaust can i get you guys opinions on whats good out? havent replaced this sucker for like 5 years... some people said a 3in exhaust is only good for turbo and 2.5 or 2.25 should be perfect cause of backpressure, true or false?? im looking for something easy on the ears and deep toned, nothing that sounds like a coffee can attached to the back... thanks..

i emailed modacar.com about 2 weeks ago.....$498 + shipping available in march.....if uve never bought from modacar, theyre really really fast, and their online orderform is REALLY secure.....ur almost always gonna pay $450+ for name-brand stainless steele exhaust, but IMO its worth it......of course i can say that as a highschool student making $10 an hour......ya'll know how it is.....

if ur for sleeper exhuast with a WOT deep growl, go w/ the apexi w/s.......$419 on modacar
