Default Exhaust sqeak?

Hi I just picked up my Torch Red Z06 on friday (waahooo!) and I noticed that when lifting off the gas, the exhaust tends to squeel/sqeak enough that I notice it but it's not very loud. I can't figure out if it's the exhaust and how it sounds or if there's something loose back there and squeaking. Anybody else hear this in their 02'?

thanks!
Mike

The tin-can rattle is common for the '02 cars. So is the sputter/pop backfiring and other cool hot-rod rumblings. I would never have believed they could capture the essance of a late 60's muscle car noises in a modern performance car! :cool:

Between these and the tappet, cam, and gearbox noises, I feel right at home. :cheers:
