Exhaust vibration at about 2200 rpm
Has anyone experienced a vibration (almost a whirring noise) as the MGF crosses the 2200 rpm region. This is both when in neutral or under load; its only a fraction of a second and then it goes as the revs change; a mechanic said to me that it was the exhaust vibrating but I don't know exactly where to look for and how to cure it. It wasn't there when I first bought the car but only when a new back pipe and CAT were fitted. Must be something simple I think? Thanks

Re: Exhaust vibration at about 2200 rpm
Can't think of anything specific (or history based),did a garage fit the exhaust ?, if so, I would suggest take it back to them and get them to look at it. It sounds like it could be back pressure, but I don't really know why you should get this problem if the exhaust is good. Was the one fitted new ? What do you mean by "back pipe" ? The only parts are the manifold, the cat and the silencer and connecting pipes.

Hi Adrian, all that was fitted was a new CAT and silencer box. Phil
