Default vibration/noise... whats it coming from??

still trying to pin point what this noise/vibration is coming from OK well it only does it when car shifts into 4th and converter locks up at 35mph, which is really really low b/c RPM guys in Garner do no know how to tune. Is this coming from my exhaust hitting underneath making this noise...would the low lock up speed help cause the exhaust to do that?? I do know that my Y-pipe is really close to my torque arm so im not sure if that is it or what. Anyways guys feel free to comment on this for me and help me figure this thing out. Almost getting to the point where i dont wanna drive it anymore. Oh and FWIW if you are going to keep cats and want a mean/loud exhaust, dont go with HOOKER catback. I think its quieter than stock... and I have a cam TIA

It's probably your transmission about to fall out of it.

Sounds like your driveshaft is out of balance. Better get it fixed before it shakes your exaust loose.

The zilerator-carbuerator! Hit it with a hammer and I'ma tell Madea you broke it.

But, seriously, I have that problem, but only at really low RPMs when I am leaving first. It is the motor torquing violently which causes the pipes to slap the frame/body.
