He said what they've done is run 2 self tapping screws (1 through each section of the pipe) about an inch or so after the bend. He said this has worked for them. I've never read about fixing it this way on the board. What do you think?
I don't think that would help at all. The buzzing is either from heatshields or shot welds in the manifold. I just replaced my with a DC sports header. Got performance and got rid of the buzzing all in one. If you want the stock piece, it will run you a good amount. You could always put a JDM 4-1 header on there with the heatshields. Looks stock and the gains are greater than a DC sports header.
