Angry Engine Vibration

Anyone have any ideas what would cause an almost harmonic type vibration at any speed or standing still at 2100 rpms and up. I crawled under and looked for broken motor and rear transmission mounts and they looked fine. Engine doesn;t miss at idle.

Take out your engine mounts and inspect them closer. Also check the drive shaft U-joints.

What he said. That is the number one reason people think they have an engine vibration. It's probably the exhaust, I know I have had that problem on one occasion (at least). And does anyone else think those donuts holding the muffler up are a bitch to get off..damn !
