MUFFLER CHIRP / TWEET FIXED FOR UNDER $5 IN 1/2 HOUR
Written by jpadaneye on 7/10/2011 at 03:28 am

If you want to do a test to see if it is from inside the muffler like mine was,
then do this. take something like a long 3/8 drive extension or equivilent (so
it fits in the muffler hole). slide it inside the muffler and add pressure in
different directions with the engine running and see if the noise goes away
and/or gets worse. if it changes, then the bolts will/should fix it.
