Default Car "shakes" at idle with new exhaust....

After my new exhaust was put on (G2 y-pipe, LM with Borla XR-1), the car shakes when sitting at stop lights. I plan on changing the plugs to NGKs, would that help any? TIA

How bad is it?

If it's really bad, your exhaust is hitting your floorpan somewhere. I had one of my clamps on my Y-pipe contacting the floorpan once, and the car shook like a funny car at idle.

If it's just a lil bit, it's probably just the rumble of the exhaust itself. Only way to solve it is to go back to your stock exhaust or get something really quiet <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
