Started noticing a little bit of a rough idle the other day when i started the car up. I let'er warm up for a few minutes and noticed it.
i do need to replace my cats again and have an exhaust leak, could this contribute to my slight rough idle?

could be the FRPS starting to go.if you dont have a spare, might be a good time to order one and have it just incase. it's a good thing to have handy in the glove.

When was the last time you tuned the car up? Any engine codes?
EDIT: I would fix the exhuast leak.

What is the FRPS?
Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor

FRPS failures are not uncomon.
Exhaust leaks near/upstream of the O2 sensors will cause the O2's to read lean, & the computer will richen the mixture which can make a rough idle.
Also check for vacuum leaks. Sometimes under boost a line will pop off.
