Default Is this Normal?

Hi All.

I am experiencing vibration under hard acceleration coming from the back of the car,can this be coming from the Exhust? (Borla system)

It's being felt at the shifter and the seat,and it's severe. But only undel load over 4000 rpm.
Is this normal for a Z06?

Thank you.

Uri

Probably not the exhaust, are you getting wheel hop or spin under the hard acceleration?

Not normal. I have the Borla system but no vibrations.

Are you experiencing wheel hop? How much air pressure are you running in your tires?

How many miles on the car?

When was the last Diff fluid change?

Do these cars run CV joints in the rear?
If so, how do they mesh with the rear wheel hub?
