come again...u didnt fully answer my question to ur FS thread

what was causing the vibrations in my car was the little exhaust bracket towards the rear of the car. It is bolted in with 4 screws along the square base and then two screws each side towards the sideskirts. I placed plastic washers between all of the bolts and the threads in the chassis.

At the same time Vanguard also sent me some longer bolts for the exhaust, that ws more to help center the exhaust tips but i did it at the same time so not sure if that also helped the vibrations. But they're gone now.

who did you PM for the the longer bolts>?

TurboSid · 04-20-2010, 09:47 AM

if i remember correctly I PM'd alex @ wickedparts who got me in touch with Moses @ Vanguard. I've deleted my PM's since then, but i know for sure i spoke with Moses @ Vanguard and he's the one who sent me the longer bolts, he said they'd be included in future exhaust shipments (after the group buys)

It's crazy to see this thread today because I've always had a slight vibration but today it was insane and at all RPMs. Usually it only exists from 2250 - 2500 when pulling away from a stop but today it was there 100% of the time. I've gotta do something about it.

EDIT: This is in a 6AT used in manual mode...it has nothing to do with being in the wrong gear. I know this is common with many aftermarket exhausts though.

EDIT Pt. 2: NEVERMIND. cn555ic solved my problems. I guess the guys at the car wash closed the cover yesterday...I usually left it open.
