Default Random idle behavior..
Car is a 2001 WS6, 65k miles.

Performed the seafoam treatment two weeks ago.

Mods are just a lid and catback.

I'm unable to reproduce the problem, it happens randomly.

The car will idle at around 1400 until I come to a stop and wait about 10-15 seconds, then it will come back to the normal idle range.

It doesn't always do this, totally a random event.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Clean your MAF with some CRC MAF cleaner. It might help.
