Accelerator and brake pedal vibrating.

So I just installed a AEM cold air intake for my forte GT 2022 and sometimes I feel the pedals vibrate not to the point where you can hear it but enough to feel it If you get what I mean. Is this normal to the AEM user's out there? I do have my stock exhaust on there with a turbo muffler as well. Maybe that's it. Thanks in advance

UPDATE: SITUATION IS RESOLVED. INTAKE TUBE WAS RUBBING UP AGAINST THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT IT IS TIGHTLY SECURE AND NOT RUBBING UP AGAINST THE RESERVOIR SO YOU DON'T GET THAT FEELING OF VIBRATION ON YOUR BRAKE PEDAL. SAVING YOU THE HASSLE OF TRYING TO FIND THE ANSWER THROUGH THE THREAD.

Is the intake tube or the mouth hitting anything or not secured tight?
If it does it at idle I would feel for excessive vibration under the hood. Check if the hood is vibrating/loose at idle when it's closed as well.
yes, it goes from the air filter to the turbo
It is not a weird buzzy sound at high rpm in cold weather is it?
So warped front brake rotors maybe.
So is it vibrating when you accelerate or when you brake? If acceleration I would look closer at your intake install. If braking I would look into the front rotors. If you took it up to 80+ and stopped hard a couple times they could be warped
Tire balance or bent rim?
shake the exhaust around with the exhaust tips and see if you hear it hitting the underside of the car anywhere.
