5SFE Exhaust Vibration - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

the_professional · 05-23-2009, 03:52 PM

I searched and it was spoken of slightly. But does anyone with the 5SFE notice sound/reverberation/vibrations when its reving between 1500 and 2000 RPM? I thought it could be a lose exhaust pipe heat shield or a loose exhaust manifold? Or is it just a trait of the engine? There is nothing wrong or "bad" about the sound and my engine is 100% but it kinda sound a little fart cannon-y around 1800 RPM or so. Thanks Again Guys.

Mine happens at around 2250 RPM, but only when in gear. I'm going to get some trans/diff work done soon and see if that is the problem.

you can run a seafoam to see if there's any exhaust leak.

I have the exact same problem... vibrates when around 1900 rpm. I seafoamed it over the weekend, it reduced just a bit but still there. I also noticed a leak under the hood from the engine exhaust and the intermediate pipe joint.
