Default Tanabe Tips Vibrate At Idle

I just got the Tanabe Medalion installed and I noticed that the exhaust tips vibrate at idle. I don't remember if the stock tips did the same.

Anyone else with the Tanabe or other exhausts notice vibrating tips??

I think all exhausts "vibrate". It may just be more noticeable now with the larger tips. They're not rattling though right?

No rattling just vibrate. Im looking at other cars exhausts as I drive to see if others are also vibrating at idle. Could also be the engine mounts are worn thus sending more vibrations through the exhaust piping.

You should look into replacing your muffler hangers with polyurethane ones. I'm sure your stock oem ones are probably worn and stretchy since you have an 06.
