RE: Now it's a WIGGLY noise!!!
This is a long shot, but it could possibly be the rubberized bracket that the metal hanger fits into. I'm probably not describing this correctly, but metal rods coming off of the mufflers slide through and rest on two rubber cradle-type brackets. When I put pressure on either of my mufflers, I can hear the rubber make some noise. You could try spraying somw WD40 on the rubber parts and see if the sound goes away.
I don't know about everyone else, but my stingers don't seem to be really "tightly" mounted. What is frustrating is that the pipe clamps are very tight, and the mufflers are tightly connected to the exhaust pipe, but there seems to be a fair amount of play/movement up/down/side-to-side, even with both metal hangers slid through the rubber pieces. Is there anything to be done to stop them from bobbing around on the end of the tailpipe? I have a nice "gong" from somewhere back there when I got over larger bumps, but I can't find anything more to tighten up!
Anyway, sorry to get off topic/steal away the thread. Good luck. I'm still not sure what a "wiggly" noise is, either

RE: Now it's a WIGGLY noise!!!
Very good points...HyproManGT!!!
When I say wiggly...
It sort of sounds like the the metal rods that slide through the rubber cradle-type brackets are movingup and downand making some kind of looseslight squeakynoise.
I went and checked that rubber bracket the other dayand low and behold...it's very loose. I'm almost positive that's my problem. It's too cold to actually fix it, but I think some tightening and Loc-Tite should do the trick. HyproManGT - maybe this is your problem too!!

I'm going to have to check on that. All I know is that I grabbed that black rubber piece and there was a lot of movement.

Hmmm...when you say "loose", are you talking about where the bracket is bolting to the car, or is the rubber insert loose inside of the metal bracket?
