Default why does it sound like there are birds in my exhaust?

Why is my exhaust chirping like a bird? Its so strange it literally sounds like birds tweeting in my exhaust. You cannot hear it at the engine just at the back of the car. I have pacesetter headers and tsp duals

see if everything is tight. also your exhaust bushing could be worn out.

This is actually very funny, because my exhaust makes all kind of strange noises at various rpm's lol. One of them being like a really tinny like humming sound that would be too hard to explain lol

Chirping noise can sometimes mean spun bearing.

Wouldnt you hear the chirping coming from the engine bay then instead of coming from the exhaust mufflers? You can rev up his car to like 1500 rpms at the TB and hold it there and the motor is very quiet but it sounds like there is a bird underneath it in the back of the car. Very odd. We tightend the whole exhaust system and made sure there is nothing loose that we could see on jackstands.
