under idling, please help

well ill start off with "i did do some research. maybe not hard enough, but i tried. i didnt find the answer i was lookin for." well i have had this problem for awhile now. when im at a stop after driving for about maybe 15 mins, my rpm needle would drop below the usual idling point and my car would start to shake. you can tell that the engine is hanging on in there to keep running and not shutting off. i have a short ram injen intake and a catback magnaflow exhaust. i dont know if that makes any difference but id like to be thorough so that someone can possibly help me find what the problem is. any suggestions will help me tremendously. thanks.

maybe your spark plugs are gapped incorrectly?
