new catback exhaust question
I just installed my Invidia G200 the other day and it sounds great, but I have a quick question. This exhaust is supposed to be relatively quiet but it seems to drone quite a bit with the windows up. Maybe I am just thinking this because of the difference between the stock exhaust and the new one. I read on another thread that droning can be caused by the pipes being installed too close to the bottom of the car. Do u think that this is a possibility? Another thing is that when I let my friend drive my car I noticed that the passenger seat vibrates during acceleration now and the drivers seat doesnt. I'm thinking that it might be because it is a true dual now and only the drivers side has a hanger to support the exhaust. Should I have a shop install one on the passenger side, or is this not even the problem? Thanks a lot.

Drone can cause a lot of vibration but its a very different thing from parts of the exhaust system comming in contact with the chassi and causing a vibration.
Do you know which it may be?

yeah i actually went to a local exhaust shop. They put it on the lift and found that the exhaust was constantly rubbing against the floorboard(which was causing the "drone" and the vibration). So they heated it up with an oxy-acetylene torch and bent it, so now everything is perfect. I guess it is hard to find an exhaust system that fits perfectly right out of the box.
