Hi guys, i'm new to this forum and i'm from asia. I got a weird sound when i rev my car fully. It's got a custom exhaust that has made a couple rcz exhaust for my friends and none of them has the sound. What could be the issue? i hope that someone here has had the issue and knows the solution since it would save me money paying a expensive diag fee.

thanks so much

Here's the link to the video since i can't upload it here.

Have you got a video or recording? That might make it little easier to work out.

Check the exhaust brackets or heat shield which were know to come loose on earlier variants

Go back to whoever installed that custom exhaust because that noise is clearly coming from the exhaust.

It is the risk of installing non-standard parts.

I will check on that but the sound is coming from my downpipe i think since the sound is loud there and i didn't change it. I only did a catback exhaust since a former shop did a horrible catback to it and it was cracking, so i got this custom one.

Maybe they dropped something into the pipe?
