Check your exhaust clamps at the H pipe and the mufflers. While you are under there make sure that the exhaust is not coming in contact with anything. That noise will drive you crazy.

Those are 2 of the 3 more common reasons for this type of noise. The 3rd is heat shield vibration. I had it as a metallic rattle in the 1600-1800 RPM range and it was the axle back clamps needing about another 1/4-1/2 turn additional torque.

oh ok, any other imputs? its commin from the frount

If it is the heat shield, it will conduct the noise in the pipe and it will sound like it is in the front. Is it a metal on metal noise? Or is it just a noise? You are saying that it goes and comes at a certain rpm so that leads me to believe that it is something drivetrain / exhaust related.

umm im not really sure what kind of noise, jus like a vibraitin noise tho, idk where it is commin from, its really buggin the heck out of me tho, it only happens around 850 1000 rpms, it might be jus a noise tho

Have you torqued the midpipe and axleback clamps another 1/2 turn or so like I mentioned earlier?
