Default Thought it was suspension squeaking, but its motor related

Well i thought i was having a rear suspension squeak intill i was at the drive through picking up some chicken and it was still squeaking while i was stopped. If you put the car in neutral and slowly bring the RPMS up it will squeak. You guys think maybe the tensioner is going out? Not sure what else it could be. It does it while going down the road which is why i thought it was the suspension. Its not continuous though.

Had a similar scenario. Took apart cat-back and re-installed, making sure to tighten everything real good, squeak is gone now.

I had that same chirp/squeak also,mine would also go away with a slight change in rpm,I adjusted the catback clamps and cured the noise.

Mine did at lower speeds mostly with the clutch in 20mph to zero, Once I got the exhaust just right it went away completely.
