Default weird sound at startup....help!

i have a 2006 v6 with dual magnaflows

the car makes a funny noise at idle, like at stopsigns and such. it vibrates the car a little and maybe its exhaust drone, but its only at idle. most often happens shortly after starting up the car, so not like in the middle of a drive. could it be just the motor warming itself? cuz my mom's lincoln does the same thing?

I have the same thing. I have headers too. Something must be rubbing. It stops at 1000 rpm. Can the slow idle be set faster? I can't find anything either.

that happened to me also... re-adjust the pipes.. the driver side pipe is more than likely rubbing against the spare tire well... loosen the bolts... stick a piece of cardboard between the tight spot and then while the cardboard is still there tighten everything up and take out the cardboard... if u did it right, u should be fine.
