Default Muffler Question

Last year I put a new Aries muffler on my 30 Tudor. Since then after I shut the car off, the muffler makes a “tinging” sound for about a minute or two.
I checked with Aries, they said that it’s not uncommon for a couple of months.
The car runs great. Any concerns?

I don't think so, but, you might try loosening it bit and giving it a wiggle, then retighten to see if that helps.

Mine made that sound, I've not noticed lately, I wouldn't mess with it.

Mine does that, I just figured it was the metal cooling down (contracting). Many other things to worry about.

Modern cars do that too. I also think it is the metal contracting.
