First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I had a muffler shop install a complete dual exhaust system on my pickup years ago and they used some really crappy homemade hangers. I didn't like them and redid things by attaching them to the botth of the cab of the truck. God was the vibration awful!! THen on a 88 LX 5.0 I used to have I noticed a vibration around 2000 rpm. I got to looking and saw that the tailpipe sticking out the back was touching the underside of the bumper. I shoved a crowbar in the tailpipe and bent it down about a half inch - vibration gone. Once you "unweld" those mufflers it will probably be like a whole new car.

Thanks much for the many helpful responses on this thread. This weekend, a buddy and I were looking at the car, and he noted that my mufflers are welded to the frame. "Getting some vibration?" he asked. Well, I coulda had a V-8 (400)! Before I do any further investigation, I'm going to cut the mufflers off the frame and hang them. Then we'll see what's what. It's another head-scratcher about this car: why would the previous owner weld the mufflers to the frame?
