Cabin vibration @ 1000 rpm

javarithms · 06-20-2016, 01:45 PM

Anybody else have a pronounced vibration (feel it in the driver's seat) while at a standstill and revving to 1000 rpm?? Car has only 18xxx miles so I doubt it's the engine mounts (also checked it out a few months ago at the dealer).

I searched and found other posts that talk about vibration around 1500 rpm, which I also have, but the vibration I feel around 1000 rpm is more pronounced.

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust? It could be exhaust reverberation/drone causing that vibration. It happened with my 350Z when I swapped to new headers and deleted the cats.

I don't but I'll take a look at the exhaust and see if anything is loose. Thanks for the tip.
