Default Exhaust system vibration

I 've got a 2003 coupe automatic, stock exhaust. As I begin to accelerate either forward or reverse I hear/feel a vibration coming from the rear of the car. It only occurs for a short range in low rpm's. It strikes me as coming from the rear of the car somewhere in the exhaust system.

Anyone else experienced that problem?

Thanks!

I have an o3 vert with the same problem had in in the dealership 3 times last year and I can still hear/feel it. They told me if they can't get rid of it it will be covered under warranty to replace the exhaust system.

I also have this issue. I even spent $800 for a new belt tightner and an alt with the clutch on it. Guess what, it's still there, especially when the A/C is on. I've stopped worring about it and hardly notice it now that I've installed the Corsa Indy's on the car. Good luck, learn to live with it as it's fairly common. Ron
