MPX exhaust question

Hey I have a quick question about my MPX exhaust, when I turn my ac on my car has a noticeable vibration coming from the exhaust, no noises or anything just a slight shaking and it shakes the tip a lil bit too. With the ac off no issues and feels normal, just wondering if any one else with exhaust has this happening also? Thanks

The fitment is on the almost exact side. I noticed that my downpipe has a slight upward curve and it causes vibration once and a while. I took it to a shop and they bent all the heat sheilds so the vibration is about 90% gone. I hear it once and a while when its cold.

That's the thing the vibration isn't noise related it just like the pipes are shaking underneath making my cabin vibrate, and it's not even that bad, just wondering if that's just what it does. It starts at the mid pipe and ends at the tip, if you look at the tip it is kinda shaking, it's only with the ac on Wich makes the exhaust louder

Ok what freeway you wanna meet up on then

That makes me laugh thinking about it when I was on my way back from cali this weekend I heard that the bull run was going on out here so I told my ex wife to watch out for some of the cars that are entered into it, and she asked me why so I said because if you see one of them Im going to get up next to one of them and blow thier fing doors off i have 200HP and they have over 400Hp in all thier cars would could take them all out she thought it was pretty funny
