My stock catback sounds like tweety!
Hey guys, I got this tweety chirp sound coming from my stock catback. Sound like its coming from the tip but not too sure. Each time when I rev it, it'll make the noise. Anyone have this problem and has fix this yet? Its an 04 wrx. Thanks in advance.

Might be a broken exhaust mount. I had a tweetyish sound coming from my DP and that's what it ended up being.

Nah...it's not a broken exhaust mount. This is a common problem with the stock twin tips. I have this as well. So does a friend of mine.

You have stock catback, but probably have aftermarket downpipe. Is that right? No big deal.
If you hate that sound, upgrade to a aftermarket catback or axle-back.

Yes,this a common issue with the stock catback.
A aftermarket catback should be one of your first mods.

it's the 2 little holes near the exhaust tips. Cover them up somehow and you'll get rid of the sound
