I changed the stock exhaust tip on my g6et. From the muffler is single into twin oval tips.

Here are the tips http://media.supercheapauto.com.au/sca/images/143258.jpg

I now get this unbarable loud resonated humm or shriek on WOT. It sounds so cheap!! I cant believe this

Do you think its a hole in the weld somewhere or because it splits from single into twin.

please help im embarrased tro drive the car haha

Makes a bit of a difference I think but shouldn't be that noticeable, you might have broken a join when doing it. Did they pull the whole exhaust off or just undo the rubber thingys and pull it down?

The old tip from muffler was cut off and new one welded on. They did not take exhaust off the car. Thing is it resonates back through as I can hear it under my seat ??

The tip was 50 from supercheap. Think that's the problem. Don't want to buy another tip to find I get the same problem

Is it possible to weld a pipe while only one side is accessible? I.e. under a car?

There's not much room under the skirt, surely they took it off?

Maybe find a good exhaust shop ASAP and get them to ID the problem and find a fix?

Yeah my guess would be they broke a join when they pulled the exhaust down to cut the tip off and put a new one on. A decent shop should be able to find and fix it.

A tip can change the sound quite dramatically.

Many moons ago I had an EF and I brought 2 tips for the new exhaust I was putting on. One was a large oval and one was a straight out round tip the same size as the exhaust.

The oval tip was so much louder it was ridiculous. We swapped to the straight out tip and the problem was solved.

Another thing to check would be that the tip isn't touching any of the body work.

Lol that's funny, I just did the exact same thing to my car and it made little to no difference in note at all. Weird.
