How do you guys live with this... I can live with the Trans Noise with the JWT Flywheel but this rattle has the G sounding like a freaking honda!

I took the TP back off and installed the cats...

I loved the loudness of the TP and the extra power was surely noticed but i can't take that rattle when I'm driving around.

Is their a fix for this? or a different test pipe that you recommend?

I have DC headers, stock Cats, HR y pipe, Coupe mid pipe and Stock Muffler...

What should I do... It is almost as I started the exhaust at the wrong end lol... I need a HKS muffler but I have to find the right price and I want the one with the dual tips.

anyone know how to fix the test pipe rattle?

Do you think if i put a ton of heat rap it would help?

Which rattle are you talking about? Is it the rattle when you are accelerating or when you're letting off of the gas, and it makes the hissing sound?

Both... It makes a rattle that comes in really loud at 2800 rpms and is loud until 3600 rpms and then the exhaust note comes in a little louder so you don't notice unless you are standing outside the car and it drives past you.

Sounds like a honda... then the rattle when you rev and it comes back to idle...

It is all in the test pipes.. no loose bolts... I took them off and put cats back on and the both noises are gone!

yeah it's just the test pipes....look around and you can find some high-flow cats...but they will usually run around 500-600 since you need 2 and everything is more expensive for our cars... here's a link to the cats i will get eventuallyhttp://www.mynismo.com/products/?id=2726
