Off road Y pipe making weird sounds. Hey guys, I just installed TSP 1 7/8 headers and the off road Y.
When I installed them it was a pretty tight fit and I used the jack to pop them in place.
So first start everything was good and no weird sounds.
The next day in the moring it sounds like the Y pipe is making a squeaking sound for awhile until warm.
It also was hanging low so I adjusted it some and made sure everything was tight.
A week went by and it was pretty quite. Then the squeaking came back.
It goes away when the car is warm it seems but first start it squeaks when I put it in drive or stop and start.
Maybe the whole exhaust system is too tight is my thought.
This ever happen to anyone else? Input would be awesome. Thanks.

Hmmm...no I can't say that has ever happened to me. Why would you suspect it's too tight? Did you really torque the hell out of everything or something lol? BTW, what Magnaflow muffler do you run if I may ask? I'm throwing on a Flowmaster merge and a Magnaflow 14419 bullet muffler tomorrow myself
