Default my exhaust is annoying the hell out of me!!!

I just recently just got the whole exhaust system with megan racing and i feel a big ___ difference with power.... but i have an annoying Buzzzzz in my exhaust like its ricey as hell and idk what i can do about it....I have Megan racing....header, s-pipe, mid-pipe and the axel back. I was thinking about putting the stock exhaust on to see if it made a difference.... PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!!

You have too much rasp because you didnt put in a resonator. A nice fix would to put in a magnaflow resonator and a high flow cat. Search around for what other people have done becauce I have not done my exhaust yet so I cant help out too much.

header + exhaust = rasp in most cases, resonators would definitely help

Its because you changed out the entire exhaust setup. The header is the main factor in a rasp producing exhaust. You can get a 30" resonator and have a muffler shop weld it on for you. And also get the high flow cat like I said before. There is a thread about rasp on here you might wanna check out.

shoulda thought about that before you bought the exhaust, always do your research before purchasing something.

there was a thread a while back regarding the exact same set up as yours, and he didnt like it.

Thats funny, I just posted this on another post, I have a full header back system along with the megan racing header, 2.5" with a universal magnaflow muffler, I had the shop add an aftermarket cat and a 40" resonator and that deff. did the trick, it sounds sounds so clean no matter how hard I pound on it, almost sounds like a V6, I'll try to get some sounds clips going soon, so stay tuned.

yea resonators are a must on the tc with a full exhaust. put in 2 short ones or a big 30inch one if you can. just have friend that welds or a muffler shop do it for ya.

I have the same set-up and added a Magnaflow high flow cat in the mid-pipe and removed the Megan Resonator also and replaced it with a 14" by 6" magnaflow resonator. The resonator that comes on the Megan mid-pipe does nothing. Have it cut out and replaced with a 6" round Magnaflow. The difference is huge.
