I've started to experience an annoying squeaky vibration from the right side of the exhaust system. At first I thought it was coming fro the new roll bar that was installed but I had my son ride along checking the interior parts for vibrations. However, after we stopped I went around to the right exhaust tip and when I put my foot on the right exhaust tip it stopped, so I thought it was the exhaust tip. Noticed it was loose - removed and replaced but the squeak is still persistent. Any advice would be greatly helpful.

Things I’ve checked: mufflers are not loose, don’t see any body parts/brackets touching the exhaust. Tips are tight. (Also are the tips suppose to be snug against the rear body skin?)

David,

It is possible that the internal by-pass tube's weld broke loose, this is quit common on the factory mufflers. Also look carefully on the exhaust tip pipe where is connects to the muffler canister, see if you notice any hairline fractures?

The tips should not touch the body.

Also check the heat shielding. There is a piece attached to the inlet pipe of the muffler and then of course the shielding for the cat.
