Why does the exhaust system make the whole vehicle shake when stopped?

A shaking vehicle when stopped can be attributed to issues in the exhaust system, such as a damaged or loose exhaust pipe, muffler, or hangers. If the exhaust components are not securely attached or have developed a leak, vibrations from the engine can transmit through the exhaust system, causing the entire vehicle to shake. Additionally, a malfunctioning engine or misfiring can exacerbate the vibrations, making the shaking more noticeable. It’s important to have the exhaust system and engine inspected to identify and resolve the underlying issue.
