I just installed awe 2fg last night on my new to me 19. Sounds decent, but has anyone noticed vibration they can feel through the cab after they added it?
Only had the truck a week but did not feel it with stock exhaust, I can feel it in my whole body it’s pretty annoying lol
Hoping I didn’t just waist 600 bucks.
Any thoughts?

Welcome to FRF

Did you disconnect the rear hanger? if so, did you reinstall it correctly?
I had to persuade the 2FG to be installed and it took a fair bit of convincing.

Look for exhaust contact points, including the spare tire. Anywhere the exhaust touches is going to introduce a resonance.

Thank you for the welcome!

Stock was stuck on there pretty good so I ended up completely taking off rear hangers to tail pips to get them free the. Reinstalled once old muffler section was out and new Awe pipes were in.
Everything went back in hangers, actually did check spare tire when I reinstalled cause it’s tight with space. But I can double check hanger orientation just to make sure.
Oddly it’s sounds louder up near the resonator in front now also, that area was untouched.

All n all raptor is amazing! Only wish it had more power lol but I’m used to driving my 650hp CTS V

yeah, it’s a solid 8-10 db louder at cruising speeds. A few of us have the 2FG, mine does not vibrate the truck, been on for years now.

Never had an issue with my 2FG after 2.5 years. Like @smurfslayer said, check all the hangers and clamps. The clamps need to be on VERY tight and may have shifted after your initial drive. I also remember using a mallet to gently (roughly) coerce the hangers into alignment.

Yea I’m gonna get under there tonight and make sure they are all puting pressure on hangers and double check tightness of bolts. Is more of a high fast vibration frequency, my feet no like lol
Sound is growing on me more thou so that’s a positive!

Just curious if you decided to keep the AWE or have swapped it out? I’m debating getting it
