The engine idling is too significant

The only thing I've done to my car is removing exhaust resonator, and adding a CT-Engineering intake. When the car is stopped and idling it makes ticking noises and the vibration(idling) is too significant that the heat shield from CT-E intake shakes. I was wondering if this was normal or is there something wrong with it?
Help!!!!!!!!

No CEL, and CT-E intake uses stock intake tube, so I didnt even bother to touch it in first place.

Where is it idling at cause normal is 800rpm. Idle might have changed a little cause more vibration but shouldn't harm anything.

Probably nothing to worry about...you just need to get use to it. It felt totally different when I installed my intake and headers and cut off my resonator all in one day. Now it doesn't bother me

david
if your ac is on or even your air is on it will cause the motor to work harder and cause stuff to vibrate btw
