Default Exhaust Vibrates at idle.

I have been looking for this vibration and it is driving me nuts.

I have a 99 with an A4 transmission.

The vibration sounds to me like the exhaust touching the bottom of the floor. The sounds is coming from the right hand side.

And only when the car is sitting with the right side on and incline.

Sound goes everywhere.

Needless to say when I get it on a lift, can't find or see anything wrong.

When the car is sitting level no vibration.

Anybody got any ideas.

Thanks for the help.

When I had the Borlas, the over axle pipe on the passenger side would contact the upper part of the rear end housing. When on a lift it was fine, only when the car was on the ground would it hit. Loosened the bolts and tweaked the pipe a touch, no more problems. Annoyed the hell out of me for weeks before I figured it out.

Thanks for the reply. Got to be something like that.

I going to try that fix, just loosen that side a bit and see if it will move over.

Like you said bothers the heck out of you.

Thanks

I found it by laying on the floor with the car running, just waited to hear it looked over
and I was able to clearly see it. Quick easy fix.
