Question Is this a low idle?

as weird as this may sound, ever since i put my loudmouth on my trans am it has been idling a little lower. when in park it idles at about 600 rpms. once its warmed up though its even lower. when i sit at a stoplight in drive (its an a4 car) it idles at about 490 rpms and has some vibration. is this anything to worry about? thanks

i thought stock in gear idle was 500rpm anyway. atap and check as stock tachs arent that accurate to begin with.

im not sure what the stock idle is, i just know its a little lower now, and kinda rough. right at 500 when warm and in park, a little lower in drive. so is it not any big deal? i dont remember it being there until after my new lid and loudmouth. i didnt think those would be any real reason, but thats about when it started.
