2.3 engine buzziness?

my stock 2.3 TC auto engine runs great, but boy at a certain RPM that engine buzzes, rattles all the change in the ashtray, vibrates the dome light lens, speaker grills etc. is this a normal 2.3 thing? otherwise engine runs very smooth with normal power.

oh its while driving, maybe 2500 rpm.  its got a flowmaster on it which i want to get rid of, that seems to worsen it.    i will check the trans mount, its oily.
