hey all, i have a set of polished stainless steel rectangle tips (corvette and newer z style) run on my 91z. i was wondering if any one has a problem with a nasty out of tune trumpet sound?? My exhaust souonds like a$$ around 2k-2400 rpm.. it sounds like a mix between a tuning fork and a *****.. any one else experence this when running the rectangle tips??? also has any one run them out in the center like the c5's?

 

my car has them and it sounds fine, but i have no muffler.

 

ya i have same set up. but i have flowmasters... im hoping that with headers it might stop them from makn noise. did you get them off of ebay by chance?

 

ive got the same problem with mine except i have the flowmaster and stainless exhaust tips.....it sounds like **** in that rpm range, its almost embarassing......i still cant figure mine out......good luck

 

i have the same stainless tips i think,. it is very embarasing.. like a ric er ...
i went to the gerage and put the car on the lift and found that the problem comes from tips. the inward rolled edge will vibrate like a tuning fork. and with the exhaust force it acts like a trumpet. Im gonna have my exhaust guy weld in a vertical piece of stainless steel in the center pushed back inside the tip... that should stop the rattling. if id doesnt work i will buy some stainless polished ss tips that are rolled out. my exhaust guy says it should fix it.. i will let ya know if it does.. should be after this weeknd.,..
