Bleh more than me not liking the exhaust anymore.. I need to fix it
BAD vibration coming from the driver side rear help me out with the other post I posted here.
Man can it be a pain to get rid of the vibrations after installing a loud exhaust.

For me I had the same problem and after sealing down every damn thing in the car it turned out to be some rear tubing in the trunk underneath the carpet.

So now my trunk is fully gutted and sealed

Exhaust was extremely overly loud to the point where I felt like my ear drums are shaking! I LOVE loud cars but dang I never thought it'd be like that to be in one.
I'm not too happy with it as of now. Anyone know a good downgrade to go to?
OP if the exhaust is brand new it may need some time to be broken in. (I.E. "Carbon Build up") to quiet it down a bit. I've only heard good things about the Skunk2 exhaust. Honestly I'd give it some time and see if quiets down a bit. I know my Invidia did, or I'm just going deaf

try a test pipe. Drone is reduced to almost 0, its louder from behind but more quiet inside if that makes sense...

I need help finding where my vibration is coming from in every gear in 3000 rpm even in if I rev up to 3000. Right behind the driver's seat it seems like the vibration comes from. Well I am in dire need of some help or suggestions where its coming from exactly. If anyone can help let me know. Please.
