I'm willing to bet either the flanges are not straight at all, or the flex-joints/welds are like absolute crap.

If the noise went away for a bit with the replacement gasket + sealant - odds are it was the flanges.

had an exhaust shop look at it and its the flanges where the overpipe meets the collector! he put a thick gasket in between and now there is no more flutttering noise and as of the welds well i had one of there reputable welders take a look at it and he told me that the welds are done right and i probably go a lucky one
