Just an update on my progress to reduce the resonance that starts about 2100 RPM. I think it was Nutter that came up with the idea to put angle iron on the pipe. I clamped two pieces, about 36", in front of the muffler and that helped some. Someone else suggested just exhaust clamps. I ordered some four inch clamps from Banks ($4. 95 each) and put two on the down pipe jusy below the turbo outlet and three more on the short section in front of the muffler. I tightened everthing pretty tight including the original angle. I am very pleased with the result, noticeably quieter at all speeds. Still not perfect but much, much better. Wife says I can keep it. #ad

Nutter, what do you recommend for the muffler? Do you think something like a hose clamp would work?

Hey JNutter -

My exhaust system was creating a real annoying drone from 1600-2000 RPM. I clamped some 1" angle iron on the resonator with some 7" hose clamps and it worked like a charm! Got the prepainted scrap metal at a salvage yard. The entire fix cost about $7. Thanks for the tip.
