heres my story.. why i *PROBABLY can't send it back. i got the exhaust, put it on, drove around, heard an exhaust leak. immediately took it to the pit and looked and whatdoyaknow, small holes in 2 locations. 1 on the passenger side h pipe, and 1 right before the flex pipe. yeah thats right, holes in my brand new exhaust. so stupid me, instead of being smart and taking it off and packing it all back up, i take a spot weld to it and fix the exhaust leaks....

so question being: Will they take my exhaust back, even though I have already used it and put a spot weld to it...?

im gonna say no. Idk what to tell you man maybe try the x mod to see if it fixes it. As soon as i seen it was rubbing i thought i pinpointed to the y-h pipe connection. However being the exhaust ***** i am sold it for 200$ and bought Nismo i think. lol idk that was like 3 years ago

the motordyne x pipe that the one guy mentioned? is that what you guys are talking about? or something different? also, will the x pipe effect performance and whatnot?

Also... the only reason i would think it has to do with the sway bar, is because it only happens at like 4.5k rpm's.. if it were to do with the h pipe, wouldnt it happen whenever i hit the accelerator?

yeah, the x pipe will remove this sound and bring back the VQ sound as well.

hehe yeah, you just have to put about 40 bucks into realigning the exhaust, 100 shipped for the magnaflow x pipe, then about another 50 bucks to get it welded in. then you should be good to go.

god that seems like a lot of trouble to go through for something so silly. i'm gonna first see if I can get a replacement h pipe at least from topspeed.. maybe its just a defected h pipe?? there are plenty of sound clips on youtube with the same exhaust and this noise is not present. also, would the magnaflow x pipe change the note of my exhaust as it is now? because dont get me wrong, it sounds like a monster until that little bit*h metal noise comes in.. haha

You should also note that your ebay headers and test pipes are making this even worse.
