Default Hood vibrating when open

When I open the hood of the car and turn the car on, the hood vibrates up and down. Car has 32,000 miles on it. 2004 GT. idk what the problem is. Is this normal? is it my exhaust causing this? right now i have no mufflers (sounds like azz). Motor mounts are stock too.

Sounds like your muffler bearings are going bad and transferring vibration to your hood.

They've nearly doubled in price! You could get one for $30 just a couple yesrs ago...

Note: Kaleco has replacement 710 caps too...

I REALLY like driving my car too, but my "stick" vibrates most at speeds over 100 MPH.
