Cracked ART Pipes? Art Pipe Making Noise
Update: Hey guys just took my car to a local muffler shop and they removed it for me. Turns out it was my stock y pipe making the ringing noise. The ART pipe was hitting the heatshield so i thought it was the art pipe that was causing the weird noise. I've decided to buy an aftermarket y pipe to get rid of toe POS OEM y pipe but have already removed the heat shield so it's not making the rattling noise anymore 
Good to know it was not an expensive to fix problem

What's weirder is that when i put my palm against the helmoltz resonator to try to hold it still while i bang it, it eliminates the sound. When i let go, the rattle/ring comes back. If something was loose inside, then the rattle/ring would persist regardless of whether i had my palm on it or not.

Although this is true, the OP does state that the welds on the ART pipe were all checked and showed no cracks. I am not refuting the stock exhaust may of had some thing to do with the problem, rather I am just wondering if the problem could simply be ART pipe related.

Afaik, the helmholtz resonator is hollow. There's nothing inside like regular resonators. I'm not sure what could be rattling... Maybe a piece of steel wool from the non-foulers

Hey guys, i've had the ART pipe on my car professionally installed for almost a year now and just this past week, it started making a weird sound. At first, i thought it was the heatshield hitting it (unlikely since it was fine for almost a yr) so i removed it, but the sound still persisted. I started banging on the art pipe lightly with my hand to find out where it was making noise from and it seems like it's making noise from the helmoltz resonator 
It seems like something inside the resonator is loose ... I have a video if you guys watch, i bang it in several places to find out where the problem was coming from. Also, i checked the welds and the pipe. Nothing is cracked, so it's coming from the inside. It's not loose bolt from the y pipe either, that's already tight.. I tired banging the resonator on the passenger side and it was fine - made no noise. Does anyone know exactly what's causing the sound?
