I get some vibration thru my clutch pedal, especially when pushing the clutch. I'm still on the OEM clutch, 7 years, 108K miles. My car has done this every since installing the y-pipe. I fixed most of the problem by connecting the front y-pipe downpipe to the OEM y-pipe mounting location under the engine block. The problem is aftermarket y-pipes are light, aren't as beefy as the OEM y-pipe, and most aftermarket y-pipes don't use the under block mounting point. Without securing the pipe, the Y-pipe moves and has mild vibrations that can felt thru the pedals under certain load conditions.
