yeah so using an example to explain my "problem". when im going through the steak and shake drive through to get a nice big milkshake my Kj makes a weird kind of crackling (best i can describe it) noise coming from the exhaust. it only does it when i give the kj just a little gas like when i go through a drive-thru as above.

just wondering what it is cuz its made this noise a while and its just annoying to hear.

thanks

Mine does that too and also when when I'm backing my boat up? I think its just the pipes vibrating causing the noise.

Had this happen on my Ford Ranger before the KJ - then, it was the catalytic converter heat shield.

Is it a rattle or a "cackle" type of sound?

If a cackle type sound it's totally normal and nothing your going to do will make it go away.Mine cackles very loudly,more so when I'm in 4low.Love that sound.

Does it sound like its coming from inside too? If so I have the same sound, especially on cold mornings when I start it up to warm up. I actually have played around with the tailpipe by putting pressure on it and the noise has stopped. I'm hoping to replace my current muffler with a flowmaster or magnaflow soon so I can deal with it until then.

I notice something like that when I add power at low speed any time I have my window rolled down. A mild "cackle" in tune with engine RPM. My Jeep's done it for years, probably since it was built. I think it sounds cool.

uhm no to me its not a "cool" sounding noise like if i had a flowmaster or something. the best way to describe it is if you were to take a drum stick and buzz rolled it on a metal pole. the noise just annoys me is all. thats why i asked
