okay.

since installing the header, i've been hearing this sorta ringing sound.

at first, i thought it must be some loose nuts/bolts in the downpipe.

tightened them, started driving n the sound is mainly when im accelerating from 20-40mph.

i then thought it was hitting my crossmember (maybe crappy install by myself or the muffler shop didnt weld the downpipe support well enough)

took it back to the shop and there is a decent amount of clearance between the downpipe n crossmember. (around a centimeter) and unless my motor mounts are complete crap, it shouldnt be hitting there.

then i thought about the rusty bolts that i loosened on the cat. i tightened em n added some hi temp adhesive to 'em.

when gettin out from under the car, i saw the DP support that is welded on the new DP. it is fairly long, about 1-2 inches and an inch and a half wide with 2 holes in it. i was wondering, would that be causing the ringing? considering that there is alot of force on the DP there, would it vibrate that piece enough to create resonance?

im gonna remove it but i duno when because its a tite fit and i dont have any portable cutting tools besides a craphacksaw.

any suggestions, ideas?

thanks guys!
