I put metal spacers between the plate and its mounting points on the frame and the vibration went away. It still echos the sound of the engine; doubt there is any way around that without drilling more/larger holes, and I don't want to compromise the integrity of the plate. I was worried about it trapping engine heat, but the temperature outside has been at or near 100-degrees each afternoon and the cooling fan isn't running any more now than it did before (which was almost never).
I cleaned and re-oiled my air filter for the first time and made almost 79 mpg on my next tank of gas.
