Default car shaking at idle? Please help

So after I have driven my car for about 10 minutes and i am at a stoplight, it starts to shake like it wants to die but doesn't and also the exhaust sounds different kind of like more throaty and not as smooth, also my exhaust pipe was shaking alot . Last time this happened was when I installed longtubes and my o2s messed up. I changed them and it was smooth as butter. Could it be my homemade 02 extensions ?Please any suggestions I don't want to drive the car like this and have it leave me stranded .

Hmmmmm...... it kind of sounds like a tune up thing? Maybe plugs/wires/air filter? Does it come and go, or after 10 mins it's just like that until it cools down? Maybe check your fuel filter as well? I would think if it was your 02 sensors it would be throwing a code, also I would imagine that it would be pretty obvious like a wire came apart or something like that. Just my .02

Yeah it comes and goes and it has new wires, plugs, fuel filter ,and fuel pump. Could it be a map sensor?

Not really. I would check those wires to make sure there not burt and grounding out somewhere first. Then look at the TPS. TPS can cause that.

Just take a multimeter to it and check it.
