Resonance at 2000rpm

Hey all, 5L annoyance as title says. It does it wether driving or just sitting in the driveway with me holding the thottle at 2000rpm. Mounts passed a recent roadworthy check so I have to assume they're ok. What yous reckon?

I'd start looking there then. A redback cat back system (inc rear muffler) are less than $200 and dead easy to install yourself. Will sound cool and fix your issue. Don't be talked into the straight rear pipe - they sound and go fine with it installed.

The exhaust shop in Dandenong. I think it was $200 - would have to check the recepit. Anyways - egay is another option.

What's wrong with the straight pipe? Sound bad, or just too loud?

I had a quote a while back for a fabricated mild 2.5 single cat back into turboflow muffler with mild 3in. tip for $350 odd from a crowd in FT Gully, that was more than resonable.

They sound bad and attract unwanted police attention.
