Amuse TI DUal
I had my amuse dual for about 1000 miles on my car, perfect sound everything.
Last saterday I took it to a play so they could take the catylist out and put a pipe instead. I told them to put a straight pipe, but they bend it a little to look like the cat. Now when I start the car I hear a difference, like rattling or so. Really far away, but when I rev it all the way up to 6-9k rpm and let gas go, you hear like drooning, rrrllllllll or grrllll don't know how to make the sound. Is it becuase i took the cat out orso? Because I've never heard this problem before.
Thx

Check to see if the newly install "straight" pipe is very close to or touching a heat shield. Go under there and give it a good shake in all directions. Does it touch anything?
Can't tell from your description about the other noise, but it could be due to the absence of the cat that is now eliminated most of the back pressure. Who knows, you may even shoot flames out the back.

Since this just started after an install it may well be a bent heat shield. Or it could be the infamous "Amuse rattle". If you do a search, you will find a fair number of Amuse owners have had a problem with a rattling resonator.

I'll try and to that in a while when it gets coolder. The pipe they put beneath my car isn't a straight one. They kinda bend it to take the cat's original form, I don't know why.
Here I have a little clip I just made, it sounds like there is a nut or something in my exhaust and it rattles?

Ricardo I am sure the rattle is coming from Ti resonator.
Because your test pipe is causing stress to Ti piping to the resonator, the resonator's wall flexs.
Either you have to take out the test pipe and design to fit better
or
You have to move around the resonator around to get rid of the flex on the resonator wall
