Found my vibration!! Looks like the h-pipe on the driver side is hitting the crossmember. There is a smaller hump on this side (T5) Has anyone else had this problem? How did you go about correcting it?
 
The only thing I can think of besides doing surgery on the crossmember would be to change the stock motor mounts out to the convertible motor mounts. They allow the engine to sit a little lower which might give you enough clearance. Or possibly cut off and reweld the hanger on the H pipe so that it keeps the pipe spaced away from the crossmember :shrug:
 
When I put my Basanni 1 Piece Cat Pipe on it made contact with the Tranny Crossmember on the Drivers Side. I ended up taking the Crossmember out and Cutting in about a 1/4" and rounded like the pipe. Put it back and never had a problem. Just make sure you are not removing alot of material and you should be fine.
 
thanks guys...I have new bushings for the crossmember anyways, so ill just take a bit off of it when i get it out. looks like thats the only thing i can do at this point. thanks again
