3rd Gen Vibration - Resolved

After I installed my Warpspeed Y-pipe I noticed a "rolling vibration" when engine was under a load.

Symptoms:
1. At a complete stop, car would vibrate excessively when
A. In "D" Drive.
B. In Reverse with brake applied.
C. Any Lower gear.

Process:

1. Cleaned Throttle Body
2. Replaced Gasket between Dual Duct Pipe and Throttle body.

Result:
1. Greatly Reduced "Rolling Vibration"
2. Some vibration, but seems to be normal operation of Pipe considering the stock has insulation.

Note: I noticed a clunking noise when jumping on the gas from a stop. Any clue on what this may be? It started when I installed my Y-pipe. My guess is either the Y-pipe increased my HP so much that it caused my engine to tear an engine mount (doubt it). My other guess is that the Y-pipe is hitting against front sway bar. The noise seems to be coming from that general area.

Open for suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
