My Exhaust Whistles
Hey guys. I got my Dual done by Pepe but for some reason at high speeds at WOT it whistles. I can't hear the engine at all because the thing is whistling so loud. So what can it be? The piping is 2.25, would a small piping cause that?

Ps I have stock headers to a x-pipe to factory resonator to a y pipe (because the muffler is one inlet in two out) to Borla muffler and pipes out. What should I do?

If you didn't hear it before then it probably a leak soe where at the weld joint. Just have it re-inspect.

Took it back. PEPE will plug one of the pipes on each side. The Ypipe he made was too sharp and created a whistle sound. We drove with one of each quad plugged and the sound was gone.

why would you plug up one on each side? can't your installer fix the y pipe to have a properly flowing fully functioning quad like you paid for?
