It comes from the exhaust area... It makes the noise in drive, reverse, and/or park. I hate the noise...it is VERY annoying.

OMG thats annoying! LoL

You need to have someone rev it while you're standing outside so you can pinpoint where its coming from. Its a pretty easy thing to do, its like trying to find out where a cricket is. At least you can narrow it down. First thing that comes to mind is that it sounds like when you blow through the top of a glass bottle... so in thinking that, it makes me thing something with the exhaust, but AFTER the muffler. Just a total shot in the dark, I'm wondering if theres a hole in the perfect spot of the exhaust tip that the air is passing through it at the perfect angle. capisci?

I am 100% agree with you Mr Jokster. I thought the same when I saw the video and I read what you had written. I said to myself, This guy read my mind or better yet, I read it to him. LOL Also, I thinking right now that one of your chrome pipes is loose or any of the inside clip that support it lost the tension and make that sound. Look and move your chrome pipes and see what happens before you go to the muffer shop.
