Weird Vibration
I'm getting a strange vibration now whenever I make a right turn. Not from my tires.
I think my Downpipe is rubbing something...
I bent the seam out of the way and everything when I installed it. It looks like it might be rubbing on my tranny dipstick now though. GRR
I guess I'll try to re-adjust it sometime this weekend...

Dually, if you look on the bed of the truck, he didn't put enough paint on!! Anyway, Falcon, I'm getting the same thing with my 2wd on right turns. I replaced the wheel bearing, put on Hawk brake pads and had the rotors turned. While I was under there I looked around at everything and shook things, everything is solid. I hate to even look at the downpipe, I put the 3 1/2" down there and had to do major body work. It was a nightmare laying in a foot of snow doing it. I guess I'll have to though. Of course, I could just keep my windows up and the radio on loud, that would fix it!!

HAHA... very funny! 
Pretty sure it's my downpipe.
And OldBird...
there is enough paint on the bed at the top and bottom. I just did a light coat in the middle where the red is going cause I can't do the red right over the primer or it's too dark.

Ya, I hear that Rustoleum has a weight factor of X3 over automotive type paints, gotta be real carefull to appply it evenly!

It is very likely your DP hitting the firewall. I had the same issue, went at the seam and the firewall with a sledge, pipe and prybar several times to clear it up.
I would think I had it modified enough, the noise would be gone for a week or two, but then would return after a bit, so I would attack it again, it's good now though.
