Yes, the exhaust system can cause vibration in a vehicle. Loose or damaged components, such as hangers or brackets, can lead to excessive movement and noise. Additionally, a failing exhaust system may produce imbalances that contribute to vibrations felt throughout the vehicle. Regular inspection and maintenance can help identify and resolve these issues.
The burning smell from the exhaust pipe may be caused from oil or transmission fluid leaking into the exhaust pipe. For example, if your turbo is failing on the car, then that can cause leakage from the manifold into the exhaust pipe. There may be other reasons, too, which other people will be better articulating.
