Default Mine isn't totally smooth like when it was new and stock, but it doesn't really 'shake'
Also, I've noticed that sometimes it idles rougher than other times. When it idles rougher it will shake a few times as I turn it off, as if it doesn't really want to turn right off. When it idles smoother it shuts right off smoothly. Wish I knew why.

Could be plugs or slight boost leak - BPV's. I had this.
