Tweety bird is in my exhaust pipe!
OK, Im getting this sound out my left exhaust tip and not the right. Its a fabspeed exhaust, so one pipe into the muffler then it splits into two tips.
It sound like a bird chiping through water (if that makes any sense) and its barely audible. You hear it at the exhaust pulse. Understand that where my exhaust tip clamps to the muffer there may be a leak there. My theory is fresh air is getting pulled into that very small leak and that is what is making the noise. The reason I think this is because I hear it out one tip and not the other. I reason that if it was from the engine then it would come out both exhaust tips. Anybody else have a suggestion.

maybe you have a partial blockage in the muffler? Something may have collapsed. It may just be more audible on the left side, depending on the arrangement of the baffles.

Maybe, but a few weeks ago I had to go and retighten the clamps on all parts of the muffler. It was so bad the the tailpipe wasn't even touching the sides of the muffler where it clamps to.
Thats what made me think exhaust leak.

Sorry to hear, maybe if you heat the pipe then tighten the clamps it might tighten up. If it's that bad, then you might have to cut a slit to remove some of the diameter. I just hate aftermarket stuff that isn't up to oem quality.
