MUFFLER BUZZING NOISE?
Hi,
Lately ive been nailing my car like crazy, red lining it in tiptronics, reaching high speeds that i haven't reached before (100+) MPH, drifting and havent been taking care and babying it like i should be. Today i realized that when i reach 1,000 RPMS that i hear a slight buzzing noise coming from the muffler that isent that noticeable but can be annoying when you know its there. The buzzing noise goes away when you exceed 1,000 RPMS.
- Checked that the muffler tip is tight and secure
- The muffler system going under the car from the muffler tip and everything seems pretty loose to me (can move it around a little bit) would this be normal?
Will this buzzing noise go away within time?
Any ideas why this is being caused?
Thanks!

Likely a loose baffle in the muffler or a piece of Cat honeycomb has broken off & is rattling around.
The exhaust should be loose on it's hangers.
