Question RA: weird noise help

well, i havent noticed before becuz usually i play music while i drive and have my windows open and cant hear it but this morning i drove my car without playing any music or watever, i hear a light buzzing sound, and it seems like its coming from the transmission. it kinda buzzes more faster if i go at higher RPMs...now i thought its jus a rock stuck somewhere underneath my car or watever but this happened a few times already, somedays i wont hear it somedays i do. any ideas whats goin on before i go to the dealership and get it checked? thx

Yea the flexpipes are GARBAGE!!! I already had the dealer replace mine at 20k miles.... and now at 30k its back. If there is any rattling at all when you check it, then its most likely gonna be louder when u drive it. You especially hear it going over the little bumps in the middle of the road or before a stop.

My flexpipe leaks, too I can't be bothered to deal with the dealership to try to get it fixed under warranty, either. Mine's up soon, anyways.

Could also be the stock cat. Those things rattle and buzz too when they go out. Either way Mitsu should replace it.
