Anyone with a full 3" had problems with a metal grinding sound in mid throttle? Every gear i hear it and its awful. Let me know. Could it be the heat shield because there is alot of room between the exhaust and the shield.

 

i got a full 3" and such 3in dp and exhaust...no problems

 

Right when i get into the power spots of the gears. It seems to start grinding or something. Its embarrassing

 

I also have a 3 inch setup and have no problems.

 

jack her up and see if ur rubbing sumwhere

 

would a gasket leak sound like metal grinding?

Im thinking about taking my 3in. exhaust off and putting on my stock exhaust.

 

I think its rubbing where it goes up above the rear axle thing. Mine used to rub there with the 3" but you have to put something there or try to bend the pipe a little to angle up more.

 

Well not im not wanting to take it off becaus eof the grind. Maybe a tune would help me. but i just dont feel the power i once did with my stock exhaust on and I liked the sound of the car alot better.

What does everyone think. GET A TUNE?

 

I felt a loss in power with my 3" then I put on my magnaflow 2.5" and BAM the power was back.

 

ull have mre back pressure with a smaller exhaust...u might need that

 

Could the possible metal noise be the cat being fried?
