while it is idling, go under and hold them still with a stick or broom handle. if it gets quiet when you are touching one of them, then that's the one that is rattling & rip it off or bend it back so it is quiet. :thumb:

But cheap aftermarket catbacks fit like shit actually.
There is a chance one of the brackets on the midpipe is banging to your bottom end.

Or if you have a short shifter, that could be rattling to your midpipe, especially when you're running a B-series.
