Angry HELP! Car is shaking

Hey guys my car seems to be shaking at idle. Before I installed my Cobb Stage 1 it would only do it once in a while but after I feel like it does it constantly. There's no noise associated with it and the RPMs are remaining consistent but the car just seems to shake. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks for the help

shake as in wheel shake or a shudder coming from the engine or drivetrain?

Happened to me too - exact situation. Turns out I had a bad coil which I got replaced under warranty. It's either that or your injectors.

I'm guessing you just uninstalled your cobb before the dealer visit and they didn't give you shit?

Get a reader and see if there are any misfiring codes.

Spark plugs, coil packs, clogged up intake valves, seriously clogged air filter are some possible reasons...

Spark plugs, coil packs, walnut blasting, injectors... One of those.

+1 I'd do blast first, sparks and coils then injectors.
