Default Car Problems.... Getting worse and worse...

Okay, i guess this is not my week so far. I am still getting over the flu which sucks and i think my car caught it!

First thing ... Vibration.... I noticed it yesturday i dropped off my girlfriend and got some things out of my trunk. My seat and other buddy in the back said his seat was vibrating as well. Today im at light and spill water on the ground by opening the door..... My seat is vibrating.... even more. Ok that alone is scaring the hell out of me.

Another thing yesturday after class... my Car was running fine. No crazy dash noises or vibrating. Then randomy clutch was coming out very slowly when shifting it was very noticable. Almost like it was sticking or something. This has happend to me before. And it seems to happen when its been raining??? It has been raining here all week so far.

Then when i park today put up my e-brake... guess what!? Vibration! i leave my car running and i walk around the car. My exhaust is vibrating like crazy. loose bolt maybe? Ok this is pushing it over the line.

If this continues i am taking it to the dealership and raising hell. Oh and great i wont have my car for a day! YES!
I have 13k miles on my car. I love the car but i cant stand the problems its giving me!

does anyone have any idea what this could be? This whole vibration and clutch problem?

This is what I was thinking. SSR Race header is a multi piece header if I remember. Maybe something came loose. If the car only has 13K miles, then you can't have had that header on for very long.

Here is a suggestion, check to see if your engine is vibrating on the mounts. If not, most like the header. If the engine is vibrating as bad at the exhaust and the header, then start look around from something loose.

Good luck

Good luck

Is the vibration only happening when you stop or are in neutral? If so, is it coming from the motor too? Sounds like a low idle vibration, but I don't know. If something 'came loose' you would likely hear metal on metal chatter from somewhere.
