Default Agency Power buzzing noise

Hey guys, jus installed agency power single, stillen y pipe and top speed test pipes. There is a buzzing noise when you let off the gas, is this jus rasp or something else?. I heard once that new exhaust my sound like **** for a while.

EDIT

So last night someone told me I have an exhaust leak. Its not rasp. He covered my muffler with one hand and told me to walk around the sides of the car. Its a leak on the left side that's where the noise is coming from. Am guessing my y pipe or left test pipe isn't on properly. When driving I only hear it on the left side I forgot to mention that earlier. Apart from that this exhaust set up is beast not for the faint of heart extremely loud and aggressive.

I could be making contact with an underside brace off throttle. My Tanabe exhaust did this.

my money is its just crazy rasp. I installed my Trial titanium exhaust just recently and it sounded excellent with the cats, the moment i installed test pipes the rasp became so ridiculous I thought it was something touching something else and spent hours rechecking everything removing heat shields/checking the gaskets/ removing/reinstalling the test pipes and checking/adjusting clearances. So yea....probably just rasp form the titanium muffler. Try throwing the cats back in.

Ahh I see. Thanks for your replies guys. I will be double checking everything. Removing the test pipes on an hr is something I never want to have to do again lol. Here is a short vid i took. Listen the sound the exhaust makes about 3 seconds into the vid you will hear it.

Oh I see. The thing is that bmurray has the same set up and he doesn't get that loud buzzing sound. "For a bit" So it went away after awhile?

i have the same exact noise now with my art pipes. except mines between 1.5k and 2k rpm. and it also happens when i let off the throttle. but my art pipes make many noises so i dont really worry about it.

Mine happens anywhere in the rev range below maybe 3k rpm. I thought art pipes were suppose to get rid of things like that

Oh ok thanks for the info. I will look into it if I ever need to get rid of rasp or quiet down the system. It doesn't rob performance though right
