[QUOTE="Don Bailey, post: 1009014, member: 70124"] Well mechanic called and said he found what was causing the vibration. He said when they put it back together they didn't seat the exhaust pipe into the Y-pipe I think he said it was and is was cocked a bit and was up against the frame. He loosened the bolts and got it off of the frame and tightened the exhaust back up but this time a little at a time equally on both sides so it would flush up. I know I had thought I'd heard a change in the tone especially when first starting it that sounded like a bit of an exhaust leak or something but not bad enough that you would know that that is what it was. This explains that. I'm just wondering if there is such a tight clearance between the frame and exhaust system that if not flush up that is could rub against the frame. Guess I'll see when I go get it later today. [/QUOTE]
