This generally when you get the most exhaust flow induced movement. Have someone follow you and get them to observe the exhaust tip. If you don't get a lot of movement when you hear the noise, then I'm off base. It's almost like a resonance induced noise. Only at a given exhaust flow under mild load does it move a lot.

OK, I'll check it out. Just FYI, the reason I only heard it after I put the silencer in is because the car is so damn loud without it

I'll have to check the movement theory at the track tomorrow.

Torqued the drivers side axle nut tonight. It moved. The passenger side didn't move when we tried to tighten it.
