Default Xb engine shakes a little and slight exaust leak sound help

The other night while driving to the local hot spot I say some fimaliar tail lights so I pull next to this guy I know on the interstate he see's me and punches it in his auto honda accord so I down shift but any scion owner knows down sfiting to 4th does nothing so I shift to 3rd but accidently put it in second the Box nose dives hits the rev limeter hard and I immediatly shift to 3 and well im in the lead all ready but any way I get to we get to where were going and the car is idleing ruff the tach stays put where it belongs the car still pulls pretty good but at idle if you open the hood the engine shakes every 2 or 3 seconds like its missing and it sound like it may have a small exaust leak but it could be something dealing with the motor any way the car has less than 5K on it so I take it back to toyota and I figured I fouled the spark plugs and no body sells them toyota doesn't have them and had to order them they test drove my car 2 times and kept it in the backl for a little over 2 hours the comp shows nothing wrong and they checked the fuel levels in the engine and they tell me that my big air filter which wasn't really pre oiled may have gotten to the mass air flow sencor and is causeing it to compensate which makes the engine shake and my custom exaust sounds a little diffrent at idle I don't think its nothing serious like piston rings or head gasket but I just hate my baby sounding funny if any one had a prob like this how did you fix it I'm gonna change the spark plugs because i think thats what it is and I know toyota didn't check them because they had non to replace it thanks for all the in put I guess you have to paly to play

I might respond if the post made sense. If you don't want to put in the effort to put a period at the end of your thoughts, I will not put the effort into reading it.
