It's getting cold in the north east Put my car on a battery tender since I don't drive it much. Last time I cranked it on I could already feel my battery getting lazy.

Washed it for the first time a long time. It's been rainy and cold for like two weeks. Finally had a nice day, though windy AF, but nice enough to wash it. I fell in love with it all over again.

Wrapped some interior pieces. Scared to attempt the top piece of the center console...

Corner balanced the front driver side coilover/swaybar endlink. Now the damn passenger side is 1/4 inch higher. Gonna have to do that one today. scubba steve damn you

probably look over the exhaust, I'm getting a HELLA resonance / vibration between 2500-3000rpms. Trying to find a way to solve it. Heard you can mess with the hangers and/or add more hangers in specific areas to decrease or eliminate.

Any advice or suggestions would help.

Would an additional flex section(s) welded into the midpipe(s) be an option?

A friend of mine did that with an exhaust with a similar vibration issue on his V8 Camaro and it really helped the lower-RPM resonance.

Just a thought.

I actually thought of this, but I'm worried it could not be beneficial to the sound as I love how it sounds. I will look into it though, thanks!
