Tail pipe producing harmonics

The tail pipe on my '04 F-250 vibrates so much and so fast that it produces annoying harmonics at idle speed. Has anyone anchored thier pipe down better to prevent this? I guess that is the best fix?

Why dont you try loosening it (all the joints) and wiggling it around to let it settle, then tighten everything back up. I loosened mine and cranked it up and wiggled things around and seemed t get rid of a lot of the harmonics.

Did you try it? Did it work? My 04/04 does the same thing. I just really started to notice it a few weeks ago. Do you have a stock exhaust? I am interested in finding out what you come up with.

Hey,
I have been slack and not posted, and not tried anything yet. I hope to this Saturnday.
Now I am also concerned about the injectors.

jbullfrog, did you have any other symptoms when the injector was bad?
