Default is this the same for anyone else?

Hey guys ive got an 00 Z m6 I recently upgraded my exhaust system. I put 1-3/4" qtp headers and a custom built 2.5" x-pipe dumped before the axle through 12" bullet mufflers. My car rattles like a motha now, everything on the inside of the car rattles like crazy, I have replaced my motor mounts and tranny mount w/poly and I installed a random tech adj. trq. arm which clears the pipes perfectly. So is this normal, is there anything i can do to calm down the rattles maybee use diff mufflers or something, any imfo you guys can provide woul really help theses rattles are annoying as hell

That is pretty common to have alot of noise with duals dumped before the axle. I have a cat back and it is still loud and resonates in the cab. Some of the guys with true duals could awnser your question better.

Those poly mounts do not help, as they transmit vibrations much more than rubber mounts. Dumped exhaust isn't helping either.

Get some stock replacement mounts. Also invest in some B-Quiet or Dynamat. It worked wonders for my cars interior.
