Default Bad vibration and noise! WTF

Well after getting my QTP electric cutout put on...100-150 miles later im getting a vibration that sounds like its coming from the back. I dont see where the cutout would have anything to do with it, just may be a coincidence. I had the guy check my LCA's and one was loose but was tightened up. Im almost scared to drive it???? The vibration doesnt get bad until around 28-3000 RPMs and you notice it around 1000 RPM's. I really need some help with this. THANKS GUYS!! Oh and by the way the cutout was closed if that matters.

middle but closer to the rear. Help me with this guys. I had the guy that put my electric cutout on to try and fix the Y pipe from banging and he said that it was coming from the driver side cat hitting the torque arm. He bent it away some so im pretty sure its not Y pipe hitting causing it but what do i know?????? help me guys

I had to pull the tranny mount out to see mine, I have seen others that were noticable without removale.

Just take a close look at it.

Another possibility could be that the rear section of the exhaust (the over the axle section) is hitting or rubbing the upper panhard support bar. Assuming that the over-axle section is connected to tailpipes, then you'll need to either adjust the mounts holding these pieces to get the clearance req'd or fab up a set of new mounts if the ones on you car are worn.

Best of luck
