Default 2010 Mustang GT vibration at low RPM

I have a 2010 V8 with Automatic tranny and ever since I bought it have had a vibration noise (it doesn't shake the car) coming from either the engine area or under the car when initially accelerating. If I push down harder on the pedal it goes away. Kind of reminds me of a vibration I had years ago when the converter shield was loose. Any ideas? Thanks.

I just had gears, cams , long tubes, and a catted x installed.

I had a vibration on the passenger side... they shaved a bolt for me.
Now i am getting it in the middle of the dash area.
Shop said he thought it might be the headers being close to the heat shields, that it was not bad and I just had to deal with it.

Now it gets BAD.
Especially when I am at my coasting idle RPM (1k).
I am trying to see what it may be too.
Temp and RMP seem to make it worse.
It was not bad but now I GOTTA get it fixed.

Sucks the shop is a couple of hours away and I can't go back till at least the end of the month. I just got back TODAY and it started getting bad when I got home.
I can't friggin stand this.

Since you are stock I cannot fathom what it might be.
I'd take it to the dealership if I were you.

Did you ever get this resolved? I am having the EXACT same issue. This was made with a digital camera so quite a bit of background noise, but right around 25 seconds you can hear what I am talking about for several seconds.
Link came out weird, but just click on the pic and you will get the video.

No I haven't yet because it was just in the shop a few days before I posted, so I am waiting for the next oil change. But that is the same sound I have.

Is that sound coming from the engine area or the dash?
That sounds alot like mine but mine came only after installing longtubes and I had SLP loudmouths. After putting stock mufflers back on it ALMOST took care of all the sound. Now it stops when my engine warms up. This is a video after the stock muffers where put back on but the vibration is there at start and before the engine gets warm.

Almost like mine is resonance or something but was almost the sound if not THE same sound...
Here' a video of mine. Happens at 1k-1.2k RPMS

Went to the dealer today. Found a service guy that was willing to try to find what is causing this noise. Told me he heard it clear as day, but was unable to find what was causing it. Told me to bring it back on Wednesday and he would do it again, assured me that he would find it. So, till next Wednesday! I have another thread about this on another forum if you want to read it:

http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...1k-2k-rpm.html

I'm assuming it's okay to include this link, right?
