Angry Crickets

New pipe, Rinehart 2-1...

Every now and then it sounds like I have pissed off crickets coming out my exhaust. But, I figured it out.. It only happens on concrete roads. Stops as soon as I hit asphalt... Had me goin nuts. Thought exhaust leak, bad baffle... Nope. Just the material I'm riding on.. LOL..

Anyone else notice this or am I the only one.

Ha Ha Never heard it put like that before. it most likely your rear exhaust mount. The rubber grommet will make a hell of a chirping sound when they get bad. It's only a few bucks at the dealer.

Nah, Grommet is good. Just mounted the pipe a month ago. It's the sound bouncing off the concrete.. Not the pipe at all.. On blacktop it's non existant. In my driveway, all stone nothing.

Your right. It is the concrete roads. I get them too. Sound waves bounce off the concrete different than the asphalt. Sounds crazy, but true
