Some Chevrolet Traverse owners report experiencing a chirping noise after replacing the flex exhaust, which may be attributed to several issues related to the exhaust system. These owners have noted that a cracked or damaged exhaust pipe, particularly near the flex joints, can lead to such noises. Additionally, loose support brackets connected to the undercarriage may cause rattling sounds during idling, acceleration, or when coasting to a stop. Some have also reported problems with poor welds on exhaust flex pipe brackets, which could contribute to unusual sounds post-replacement. Furthermore, carbon deposits on flex pipes and brackets have been identified as potential sources of these noises. It is recommended for owners experiencing this issue to have their exhaust system inspected by a qualified mechanic to determine the exact cause and ensure proper resolution.
