Default Muffler help

I just installed a set of Borlas on my 2011 C6 and can't get rid of a vibration. The mufflers are not touching anything nor any of the pipes, the muffler shop and I have looked at everything and can't figure out the cure. When they replaced the mufflers they removed the hangers. Looking at the parts diagram there is a right and left hangar, this could be the problem. Are they marked and if so is there a right and left for each muffler also is the right or left determined by looking from the rear of the car.

If push up on the muffler I can hear a slight ding neat the hangar

On my 2005, which may differ from yours there is definitely a right and a left, when the over the axle pipes came out heading towards the front of the car the both the left and right pipe were leaning inward toward the center of the car to hook up with the H pipe, i would think yours would be the same.

Sorry misread your post your talking about the hangers not the pipes, mine had one hanger which grabbed both pipes.

The Borlas on my '07 have two hangers (one for each side), and the over the axle pipes are side specific. Hope you find the problem.

FYI, mine are the older style Touring mufflers. The ones with the mufflers kind of stacked together.

I had a bad vibration after installing my ATAK's. It would come and go. Ended up being the drivers side hitting the brake lines. Just needed to loosen the clamps and rotate the pipe a bit.
