Rearview/CF Center console viberations

[bhup09]

Hey guys just wondering if any of you are experiencing similar issues with vibrations. YES i have searched!

My car is fully cat-less with Gintani Sport exhaust so i'm aware that there is going to be a bit of drone and of course more noise. When i'm above 2700 RPMS there is almost no rattles but anything under that seems to viberate/rattle the rear view mirror and center console alot. The center console is the OEM BMW CF piece. Is there any options to help this? I was thinking of using something like dynamat or a sound deadner on the under side of the CF center console. Looks like guys are using Dupont Krytox for rattles, im having a hard time finding it. Is there any other type of lubricants that can use? Getting sick of these rattles! Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

I'd take a few minutes to slide under the car and check if there's any metal-to-metal contact, or if the rubber exhaust hangers are dried out.

My exhaust setup makes my whole car vibrate during cold start, pretty obnoxious and droney. Somewhere on the piller next to steering wheel there is very bad vibration, don't know what it is though.

There's a huge thread on specific rattles that guys have fixed. Take a look at the I believe there is a fix for the rattle in the pillar. My setup sounds best at around 2500-3000 RPM, no drone/vibrations at all.

I took a look underneath yesterday, everything looks fine and no metal-to-metal contact anywhere. However I did find one rubber hanger that looks a little beat up, i will replace it this weekend. I will probably take a closer look at the rear view and center console at the same time too.
