Any way to reduce shaking?

[bonesmp5]

in my case the engine mount wont help -- cause im trying to stop the rattle @ idle ---- everything was fine intil that damn header --

i have one theory im going to try --- our stock system had a bracket that bolted to the exhaust and the block -- but with the header that bracket is not there --- i bet, that is why we get the added vibration at idle ---
so i might try and reuse some how to secure the header better --- what ya think??


ps my tail pipe shakes so much cause of the header -- it rubs paint off my bumper (flame)

jeez, my car doesnt vibrate that much. it does have some mean vibration when i first start it up, but after it warms up its fine. think of it this way, now your p5 has massaging seats

the front AWR mount does a great job in eliminating the engine lash. causes more cabin vibration between 700 and 1000 rpm's but keep the engine from moving!

ditto

I have a/t front

What header brand is causing the problem?

ok, figured out my problem with the whole car vibrating... since i have a modified 4-2-1 header, the 4-2 joint was loose and was causing a severe exhaust leak. since it was loose, it wiggled more. since it wiggled more, the car vibrated more. that was my problem. fixed the leak, retightened everything, car doesn't vibrate anymore. it's also a tad more responsive. WOOT! as far as the exhaust moving around, kartboy exhaust hangers are well worth their price of $28. gonna give the front mount a try soon.
