Default Car shaking! (???)

When I'm driving my car at certain RPMs it shakes somewhat rough (enough that it rattles the passenger seat). Doesn't seem to be suspension related. Almost seems as if the exhaust is making it shake so bad. Car idles fine, and runs fine, except for the "shake." I suppose one of the tires could be out of balance, or maybe it needs an alinement (sp?), but it just doesn't feel like a steering issue. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Could it be a motor mount?


TIA

Sounds like the tires are out of balance.

Well, is it RPM or speed related? Its gotta be one or the other.

Fix your damn rattling exhaust first. That is all your vibration right there. Right around 2k-2500k RPM, right? I say you need to put rubber in between all the hangers on your dual exhaust. Fix all that first, then if it is still there, post up again.
