Just re-welded the resonator at the back "Y" pipe. I haven't re-installed it but never had a shaking issue that I knew of.

Beautiful powdercoating by the way...

I'm also wondering, based upon the pic, if this extra shake is a characteristic of the HMS design, as in I'm wondering just how much extra weight that resonator has added to the back portion of the system.

Replace your stock rubber exhaust hanger mounts with polyurethane ones.

I did that to my car and now the exhaust barely moves.
