i'm afraid maybe my exhaust valves aren't closing properly cuz this only started happening after i got my y pipe and maybe a lack of back pressure is keeping them from closing all the way.
i use mobil one 5w-30 supersyn and have been for the last 65,000 miles and this never happened before.

i really don't wanna have to take off my downpipe so any other suggestions are appreciated.
Check gaskets and y-pipe for leaks.
