Yeah I agree. WD will just last a few seconds. Have been searching some other high temp alternates today.

IT'S THE EXHAUST VALVE...... Stand at the back and get someone else to drive, stop and turn off ignition.

I also have the squeak and based on comments from this thread agree it is the exhaust valves. After some searching I finally found a graphite spray lubricant that may have fixed the issue. The lubricant is called "dgf 123" and is basically ultra fine graphite suspended in a liquid so it can be sprayed onto surfaces. The liquid dries in about 3 minutes, leaving behind the graphite, which is good for up to 3000°F. I sprayed the top and bottom hinge points of the valves 3 nights ago (the exhaust was cool) and so far results are good. I cannot hear any noise at all. Limited test so far, but even if it only lasts a couple of months before needing a re-spray, thats ok with me.

For now, I just sprayed the top and the bottom outer hinge joints. I could have sprayed the inner ones as well but wanted to see how well the outer ones would do. The only issue I ran into was the fact that the can's spray tip is like a regular spray can. Easy enough to use on the bottom hinge, but cannot get close to the top hinge. What I ended up doing was swapping the tip with one I had with a long plastic spray tip. (Carb cleaner can) With the long tip, I was able to get to the upper hinge.

I solved the issue. As mentioned by many people this is the exhaust flap of the stock exhaust. All I did was apply high temp ceramic lubricant liberally around the outside hinges of the flap mechanism and using a stick on the inside hinge of the flap (have to reach into the exhaust opening, so do it when it's cold). Less than $2 fix.
