Ok, so I recently changed my plugs and wires. Cleaned what I could on the Intake manifold and the TB, as well as re-oiled my air filter. I was having a real rough idle after I did the InManifold and TB, but the plugs and wires kinda fixed that. But I still had excessive vibration at idle, but none during acceleration. Two days ago I run this road and pushed it kinda hard (I was having some fun), the next day I go to start up and everything seems fine, vibrations at idle almost all but ceased. When I pressed the pedal I got what sounds like I have a mini muffler up in my engine bay. Dont get me wrong, it sounds kinda cool just crusing under 2K (anything above that, it sounds normal). As I have never had this problem before, figured someone here might be able to figure this out.
Thanks!

Ok, so its totally the flex pipe....Im surprised that its even making an attempt to stay on. Almost all of the flange connecting it is rotted away, so now it just kinda sits there. Thanks guys for the help. Now I have one more question. What size is the stock flex pipe? Any guesses?
