Eversince i replaced my plenum, intake, and TPS (i've gone through a few) I've had an issue with my rpms jumping when i place my car in park (obviously i have an auto). When I place the car in drive the car idles at about 500-600, when i shift the car into park the rpms jumpt to about 1k and then go down to about 750, anyone have any idea what can be wrong here?

Here's a video of what im talking about (sorry about the bad quality)

And while i was out there i took a small clip of what my exhaust sounds like:

I don't see anything wrong, per say.

Is you A/C on in the video? Having the compressor running will cause the idle to jump around a little more than with it off, since there is more load on the engine. I have noticed this on mine every time I run the A/C and I am at idle (but I am a 5 speed).

Have you replaced, or tried cleaning the IAC (idle air control) valve? It's the silver canister looking part on the front side of the intake plenum. If you clean it, use electrical cleaner or electronic parts safe throttle body cleaner.
