Let's assume the MRTs have something to do with the vibrations. Did you weld the MRTs or clamp them?

If you haven't already, crawl under there and check the connection points. A good weld should hold up alright but, if you used the clamps, they may be loose or slipped out of place.

Disagree. I had V2s on my 2012 LT and loved them - I wasn't after a HP boost - just a better sound. You can only do so much for a V6.


"A few hundred more"? $550 for MRT V2s vs almost $1200 for the Borla system you recommend looks more like $650 to me (plus another $100-$150 to install). Easy to spend someone else's money.

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?
Dude,

I don't think that's just exhaust vibration... try another dealer or a good independent garage.

I'm guessing since he bought it in June 2010 and joined this sight a month later... he bought it new.

Just curious why where he bought it matters, unless this relates to the new or used question.

yes there is indeed.

cause it might the car had an accident and they rebuild it and sell it as a new, and that called a fraud i know but believe me in middle east some of them they did it the official chevy or toyota was cough by the authorities that he selling the cars that already had a major accident, but it was covered up because you know how the politics works .

and i suggest to go and check the car if it had an accident before or not.

I have a 2011, 2LT RS with MRT2 axlebacks welded on from new. So far I've been lucky with rattles and shakes, and I can't really think that the vibrations from this set up would be anywhere near enough to rattle your car to bits, when you consider how much the car is shaken by road surfaces. Do you live on an unpaved road, or frost damaged roads? Now that will knock hell out of any car.

If you want to track down each rattle and buzz, it will take time but you can loctite each screw/nut/bolt you find that's loose so it won't vibrate loose again. If you're listening to your sound system at high levels the vibrations can and will begin to loosen things. While you have things apart tracking down rattles you can install some of this stuff:

Damplifier works well and isn't too heavy unlike some popular tar-based products that weigh a ton.

I have a rattle behind the quarter panel in the rear on the passenger side that I have to track down so I feel your pain but that's the price you pay if you go beyond stock parts/usage for any car, not just a Camaro.
