FRPP Dual Exhaust Problem??
#11
I had this exact same problem. There is actually a TSB that relates to this. There are 2 hangers on your exhaust near your transmission, the dealership had to remove mine to stop the vibration. They are only needed during assembly. Easiest thing to do is just get under there and remove the rubber hanger portion and the vibration will stop. Took me forever to find this solution.
Interesting. After having driven it this weekend, I notice the vibration occurring at two times. First, when I come to a stop at a stop light. Second, when I put the car in reverse and am turning the wheel.
When did you notice the vibrations?
Thanks for the information. I will be taking this into the shop tomorrow and will pass this info along to them Hopefully it'll get me in and out fast!

I'm thinking its gonna be this, when I first installed the GT takeoffs I had, I noticed the driver side was longer so I had it grinded down. When it came time to throw on the GTB's I had bought, I had forgotten to grind the peg down and it cause the vibration you mention. Only in reverse and at a stop...

The hangers you had removed...where those by the cats, or closer to the actual mufflers? The sound seems to be coming from the driven side muffler. I am going to have to have my wife help me tonight and see if we can't nail down exactly where that noise is coming from.
And if all else fails...back to the shop she goes.

Prior to installing the FRPP V6 dual kit, about 8 months prior I had installed the FRPP cold air intake and did the ProCal tune on the engine. At the time I also had a Flow Master American Thunder single exhaust muffler on the car. I called the tech line at Ford Racing and they said that a re-tune was not needed when installing the FRPP duals, but at this point it might be helpful. Either that, or my car is learning how to breath with the new dual exhaust and this is just part of the process. Lost at this point!

Well, I took my car in today. Everything was checked, bolts tightened up, clearance space was verified, nothing is touching the body. I even had those hangers coming off the pipes (that sit close to the cats) removed. I still have that damn noise when I am at a stop and in reverse! LOL! So annoying.
