Chirping side pipe
When I installed my new hooker super flows in my side pipes the passenger side has a chirping sound. I did not have this problem with the reverse flows. I removed it, cleaned some slag out of it, made sure they were round and fit nice and I still have it.
Any one ever have this problem? Thanks, Steve

My buddy said the same thing about drag cars but did not say what he thought caused it. It is a very rough idle, flat tappet solid cam, copied the build from one of Hot Rods 383 builds but is a 406. I can't remember cam profile and am out of town now, but is a comp cams grind.
It is not an exaust leak, putting my hand over the end of the pipe stops it. I will probably swap inserts from side to side when I get home and see if it follows. Thinking I will go back to my glass pack(not reverse flows like I earlier mentioned) except when racing as these things are really loud and not sure I like the tone either. I will say performance wise though it is like whole different car with the super flows.
Thanks for all the in put
