Default Can exhaust rumble your car loose?

Is it possible for a really aggressive exhaust to rumble your car loose? Like nuts and bolts and stuff in the cab? Haha. Might sound stupid but I don't know. Because I just got a new exhaust for my 98 half ton. It ROARS and I was just wondering

Do you think this could happen?

Its not likely you will get loose nuts from a loud exhaust.

Vibration from the rumbling can loosen a lot of things. It's why most engine bolts are fine thread, they grip tighter than coarse threads.

I guess now that I think about it, it's kind of impossible. Because the muffler and exhaust pipes are connected to the frame with rubber grommets. So there is no direct metal contact with any part of the cab. Unless the decibels were that loud but not likely.
