buzzing X pipe
I have the Pypes off road X pipe, my car now has a buzz in the front about where the pipe bolts to the manifold when adding power from very slow speed. Any thoughts? I have checked, and all is tight, even checked the aluminum shields for buzzing areas. Been under car and cant reproduce noise when on jacks.
Dont really like the pinging sound the exhaust now has either, may put original pipe back on, and sell the pipe on ebay.
Thanks for any suggestions

RE: buzzing X pipe
Does that buzzing sound like exhaust is leaking type of sound?
Cause mine makes a similar noise, but like you said, you accelerate right through it. The sound is no longer there after the engine is running in its normal temp.
I have had my shop take a look at it, and they swear everything is in place. Also, I have no loss power.

RE: buzzing X pipe
I am installing my X Pypes tomorrow and I hear these issues. Did anyone have to tunn off the O2 sensors or used Mil Eliminators? Did you use a tune when you installed? Any input would be well appreciated so when I install I have something to go by. X Pypes said it was a sinple install no additions needed? let me know..
Thanks,
Randy

RE: buzzing X pipe
The only tune I did was when the CAI was installed. I didn't turn off the O2 sensors.
I have no loss of performance. I know it's not much detail, but I would go full speed ahead on the installation.

RE: buzzing X pipe
This was one of the main complaints I heard about X pipes, which is why I went with the H instead. I get a little buzz at low rpms, which I think is actually the rumble causing some interior pieces to buzz. But it doesn' have the pingy sound that seems to be common with an X.
