In the last 300 miles or so, my A12/2200 mi. has developed an
interesting little high-pitched tweet from the exhaust, like a dog
whistle or a pack of very vocal finches. It kind of sounds like the
pitch of a VW Bug's exhaust. I'd be lying to say it didn't annoy the
hell out of me. The birds must be evicted.
I'm thinking the cause is the tailpipe (stock). I tried pulling it,
and couln't really hear the whistle while running, but then again I
couldn't hear much of anything through the volume of an open
exhaust. So here are my questions I pose to you, the high-pitched
noise gurus out there:
1. Can this problem be caused by anything BUT the tailpipe?
2. Assuming it IS the tailpipe, any suggestions for fixing it w/out
getting a new pipe?
Thanks!

birds nesting in my tailpipe
Ryan-- After a 3000 mile trip, i now have the cousins of your birds
in my tailpipe. It seems to change a bit when i rev the engine, but
there is no noise at idle.
Are you from texas by any chance? I think that's where they came
from.

As with most web pictures, you can right-click the image and choose SAVE PICTURE, which will download the actual image to your drive, or you can right-click the image, choose COPY and then in your HTML editor, paint proggie or whatever, choose PASTE.
