Am i the only one ...? Please HELP - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ok so, I bought my car June 2010, its a Camaro 2LT with the RS package.
I treat my car very well and dont abuse it at all.

In 2011 I installed my MRT V2.0 axle back exhaust and then the problems started about a year later... all of the sudden things started shaking in my car and i just feel like its falling a part for some reason.

like the passenger window rattles on idel, My sunroof rattles when the RPM is between 1500 and 2600 (I got it fixed recently ) & my speakers rattle when the volume is on 10 and the bass is on 3 and the dealership keep saying that they cant do anything about it and dont know how to fix it

Am i the only one that feels their car is falling apart and vibrating? is it normal for the vibration caused by the exhaust to do all that?

It is possible that the drone of the exhaust is causing things to vibrate loose. I've had a few screws completely back out on my 1994 Camaro from driving around all the time with my electric cutout open.

No way, one of the main reasons I sold my '05 mustang for a camaro was the rattles and shaking after putting longtube headers on. The headers really exposed how poorly the car was built

I appreciate your advice, which exhaust should i go for in your opinion?

Scalded Dog · 03-01-2013, 12:45 PM

My advice? Address each individual rattle on its own. I know this is often easier said than done, but any vibration or rattle makes me utterly insane, and eventually, I WILL find it, and banish it to eternal silence. Check the window, see if there's anyplace to add some damping material to a hinge or joint... figure out what's rattling on the speakers, and either stuff a gasket in there, or replace the speakers (speakers seem fairly easy to access on these rides; but go big, while you're there!)... eventually, hopefully, you'll have every rattle silenced, and the ride will feel tight and solid again. The exhaust (or anything) might eventually create more rattles over time, but beat 'em as you find 'em.

Did you have your MRT tack welded? If not, you might try that.

Mine isnt welded, but i'll try and do that

Exhaust drone can cause glass and plastic to vibrate. U can try finding the spot that it is vibrating and add felt, silicone, weatherstripping etc. I did this on my 98, cause everything rattled.

Loud exhaust will do that though

vroomapunk · 03-01-2013, 12:52 PM

Also, adding full exhaust won't help, it'll make it louder with possibly more drone.
