Default Rear buzz with new exhaust

I recently installed my skunk2 exhaust and i am getting a buzzing sound from the rear when im revving around 3-4k .. i though it was the rear tray at 1st , but i took that out and the noise is still there .. now my guess is the rear window .. but dont know how i would stop that from making the buzzing sound

I have the same problem with my invidia, but only with the top up. The sound seems to come from behind my left ear...it's a bit annoying

Your not the only one with that problem...I've been chasing this problem for about a week now and I THINK I have narrowed it down, but I still don't know exactly if thats the problem. So check the trap that go to your gas tank or those rod things that hold your trunk open make sure they have the rubber piece on it still so they aren't rubbing...But I still have it but its not as bad as it was so maybe it will help you or maybe some else has some input

good news you guys .. i found the cause ..hopefully its the same for you guys .. its the metel plate vibrating against the the car ..make sure you unscrew it and put some sort of foam or something underneath and screw it back on ..i just tore off some of the yellow foam that was already on the car to cushion it .. if that doesnt work just get a buddy to help you listen for it .. but im pretty sure thats the cause for most of us

I've been chasing this noise for 4 years. Where is that plate? Is that the fuel pump access?
