I have Gemini + Berk test pipes.

"between the cross brace and the car "? is this the metal bracket that on top of the invidia x pipe?...

the whole pipe from the hfc to the pipe before the muffler is shaking. my shifter knob is vibrating too everytime the pipes shake.

Maybe it's curved flanges on your most recently added part? Possibly a poor contact on a flange is allowing movement.
