could be a heat shield.
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:

That could be it, yeah.

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.

I have this problem, only really happens about 1200, for me and its really annoying. I thought it was gonna be the heat plate but it has turned out to be my cat, the catalyst or what ever in side has come loose and is rattling around in side it.
