Well...a "weird" sound is not very definitive. You might want to help us help you.

Crackling or rattle? If it's a rattle you may need to adjust the support/mounting springs in the center tunnel. Crackle I have no idea.

it sounds like it is coming from the mufflers,I thought it might just be change in exhaust flow for that second.

After you've put the new exhaust system through a couple heat/cool cycles, re-torque (49 ft/lbs) all the clamps.

Don't know if this will affect what you're hearing, but Corsa recommends it be done.

Maybe a slight leak is making the noise?

Good Luck

re-torqued all the bolts,still making that sound. Could it be sudden change in back pressure?
