Unhappy What can cause my floorboard to rattle like crazy :(

.. Guys, ever since I got BMR SFCs installed, my car [98 TA A4] has been acting strange...Although, the SFCs have been professionally installed and look just fine and might not be the cause, I'd like to address this issue asap..

The driver's side floorboard vibrates when the car is in "D" and stationary and the rattle gets worse as RPMs rise.. esp, if I floor it... it's almost like an Earthquake

I can't figure out what might be going bad!!

My mods are Lid, GMMG exhaust, and SFCs.. that's it..

The car also has 99,940 miles on it.. Could it be my tranny mount ?

Please help out.. this is driving me nuts!! [ no pun intended ]

I bet it's one of those heat shields under there ...

It probably got tweaked, bent or loosened during that professional install ...

Yeah, I bet it's the heat shield too. Mine was doing it and I found that two of the sheet metal screws where missing. I replaced all the screws with slightly larger ones and it has been fine ever since.
