I agree with the rest. just a characteristic(sp) of running any type of off-pipe on these cars.

Check the two hangerhooks that attach to the transmission x-member rubber mounts. My rightside hookwas hittingthe steel x-memberand I had to bend it up to cause the pipe to hang lower. You will need a torch to do it if is like mine was. The stainless mount hook is very strong and will not bend unless it is heated.

Mine was similar, the resonance was so great as to cause headaches,.........it was the hanger just barely touching the mount(on the x-pipe) several taps with a sledge hammer and perfect, still loud just no vibration or resonance.

Good Luck!

+1 on checking all the fittings and hangers but the vibration is definitely there, alot more so than the fox body 5.0's. I had 2 chamber flowmasters and o/r x pipes and it was a mean rumbles. With S197 its just plain raspy as hell, alitlle too loud for my liking. But it is what it is. I wonder if the o/r h pipe is less raspy. Any thoughts?
