Maganaflow Interior vibration

I installed a magnaflow and ever since the install i have noticed a vibration at low rpms inside the car. Anyone else experience this with the exhaust? I really like it I would hate to have to remove it.

Is the vibration coming from the exhaust or something inside the cabin...

Jack up your car and check that all the bolts are tight and make sure it isn't rubbing against anything and you have sufficient clearence. You should be able to solve a vibration problem as long as it isn't coming from within the exhaust.

Mine rattles too... Like crazy... But kinda comes hand in hand when getting an aftermarket exhaust fellas... Louder exhaust = Vibration (Eyeglass holder/anything in door slots [water bottles,pens, etc])

My Tanabe makes a little vibration noise somewhere inside the car but only at WOT. I was hoping it wouldnt do that since Tanabe is the most subtle exhaust on the market for the G.

Can anyone locate the exact place where vibration occurs due to the exhaust? I'm sure it would be the same place vulnerable, there would just be a lower threshold for it on more aggressive exhausts. If we can find the place where it vibrates we can see if there's a way to make it more vibration resistant.

Check if the pipes and brackets are clearing EVERYTHING. BTW, do you have a 5AT or 6MT. I have a 5AT and the HKS, and what's happening is that a bracket in the rear section of the exhaust that's making contact with the differential's heat shield and makes a vibration sound at 2k rpm, but only when deccelerating. This problem only happens with 5ATs though.

It's a 6mt and its just a vibration at like 2K RPM, no noise at all. Ill check pipes and brackets like you said.
