Name this squeak
Just installed a borla stinger catback and now I have this weird squeak. I can bounce on the car and it doesn't squeak, only if i kick the tips of the exhaust or bump it with my palm. and when I'm driving I hear it, or even just idle...here's a video

Thanks for the replies, the tips don't contact anything, but the sound does appear to be coming from the back somewhere. The rubber muffler hangers would I just shoot some white lithium spray on them or would they not be tightened enough?

Yeah, I would guess the rubber hangers too if its a squeak and not a rattle. Is the Exhaust system firmly anchored with the hangers in front of the transmission? If everything is tight then you may try to loosen 2 bolts on each Cat Back, and the rear hangers and see if you can preposition it a little so the rubber fits better. If that doesn't work, then some sort of silicon lubricate maybe.

I haven't been under the car to check the hangers at the mid pipe. About all I can do for now is get to the rubber hangers on my back maybe. I will fiddle with those after work and see if it is from there. If not I'll try to get it over the pit at work later in the week and look deeper into it. It is kind of annoying and a tad embarrassing in traffic listening to it. hopefully it's something simple.

Most likely very simple but try to find it can be difficult. (You can spray lithium on just about anything underside but the brake rotors of course with no damage, no worries) Good luck, Rob

Turned out to be very simple. The passenger rubber hanger was loose, just needed to tighten the bolts We never touched them during install just slipped them into the slots. Thanks guys for the advice, I love this place!
