Thumbs down Exhaust Noises??

I have a Sebring Exhaust that is simply wonderful, but sometimes it makes a high pitch "rattling" sound instead of that deep sound we love to hear from exhausts. It only happens when i start off fast. I don't know if it means too much air is leaving the exhaust because I have 2.5" piping form headers to exhaust. If someone can suggest on what this sounds is I would like to know because i would like to find a way to change it if possible. Thanks ahead of time.

if its rattling under hard acceleration, its prolly just a loose bracket, check to see if the brackets are welded tight and its not vibrating off the frame of the car.

I''m not sure if it's a bracket, because it's only during hard acceleration and it sounds like a "crackling" sound and not a "humming" like those deep exhausts. It has to be something with the air flow because i just installed a whole new exhaust system with piping and it did it before as well. Any suggestions, thanks ahead of time.

I think I know what you are talking about. I get some kinda noise that sound sorta like what you said. It only makes the noise under hard accel. till the exhaust gets nice and hot, then it stops. I just learned to live with it after getting sick of trying to figure out what it was.

I have a Greddy Power Extreme and it is hella deep and throaty and hella quiet until I put the high flow cat on there now it is deep and throaty when idle and now when I floor it, it is high pitched.
