noise from exhaust ???

Well guys the other day i was reading a thread about cutting off the muffler and reinstalling the tail pipe .so i did that and wow what a differance by just doin that.BUT now i can hear a noise from the exhaust pipe almost sound like a clang mostly noticable from exhaust pipe.Any ideas? Can a lifter noise carry down the exhaust ?Oh ya i did a compression check and its around 400 psi.

You can hear a lot of noises from both the intake and exhaust when you remove the air cleaner or muffler.

Any chance the exhaust pipe is rattling against something?

hmmmm i wonder if you have the problem i just found on mine. The flange connection from the header on mine was rotted out and when i was cutting to do my work that i posted in exhaust version 3.0, it fell off. I had to get some fresh pipe and slide it through then ball peen it out to make the flange, then i used my dremel to smooth it off. I replaced it and the rattle/clicking went away. Maybe check there, might be if it sounds like it is from the bell housing!
