Default Vibration after exhaust install

I installed v&h dresser duels and monster rounds then had a tuner done.
2-3k rpm the thing has a buzz in the bars and floorboards. I have pulled and reinstalled and run without heat shields. still buzzes.
V&H says this is normal do to a change in the system???
I say thats BS
Help

Make sure none of the bolts are touching the frame. It happened to me. Keep in mind it may not touch when you are off the bike but does when you are. It may also only touch when you are on the throttle since the torque may make the bike sqwat down and may go away once you are upto speed. Just a thought.
