1999 E430 Issue at 62 mph

So, here is the setup:
I am driving my car on the freeway in 5th gear at around 60 mph.
I slowly press the accellerator.

Here is what happens:
The car slowly accellerates up to about 63mph, then a different tone is heard and there is a vibration which sounds like it comes from the exhaust headers, then the car drops speed and rpm down to about 61mph and re-accellerates.

What the shop says:
This is normal and caused by the dual intake plenum.

What I say:
I have never felt this before and sounds like a new thing to me. I am able to reproduce for them and they say that all of these car are this way.

Does this sound right to you? Anything I should ask them to do?

Thanks for you help,
Chris

You may wanna take this topic to the Featured Cars forum or the Tech Help forum. Maybe the moderator can move this for you.
