Hey guys i was wondering whos tanabe shakes alot when their rev'ing their car. my friend tells me mine goes left and right alot when im driving, any tips on reducing it? i plan on getting my gfx rear lip in tomorrow so i might as well try to stop the exhaust shake.

yall do know that the exhaust system is where a large part of engine vibration is dissipated right? Go ahead and change the rubber hangers to stiffer ones, dont complain of the resulting vibration in the car
