Default Engine Shake (Video)
I have attached a file to this post to demonstrate the car shaking at idle.

I get the mistique of a V8. All of my cars are a V8 at this point - Trucks, Porsche 928s, and the vette (I will not count the KIA - it doesn't have a soul).

Is the shaking you see in the video normal from the community here?

If it is, great. If not, then I need to go through the hell that is basically any Chevy Stealer in Socal.

Both of mine were similar once they had a few miles on them. I would call it normal.

(The Camaro does too)...

Mine does not shake like that and does not sound “tinny” like that.

Exhaust is on quiet mode. That is the injectors at idle. Do you mean does or doesn’t?
