Default Rattle noise after installing M2 Axle back exhaust

Just installed M2 axle back exhaust with resonator delete...

I hear a little on and off rattling noise when i slow down to like 10 mph.
Anyone else have this problem...
Seems like its coming from rear passenger side...
Checked under car...but can't figure out what it is...

At stand still, don't hear the rattle...

What could it be???

Look at the exhaust and mid pipe joint. It hits some arm in there. Raise up your car and look for the mark. I know it was there.
Try it out! GL

Note: when you exhaust getting hot, it extends out so it hits metal there

^^ this is usually when going over bumps, as my Invidia would make contact with one of the crossbars...I just used some washers and longer bolts to move the bar down slightly and the noise has been gone.

I am thinking this might be different...when I had just the Greddy and had my resonator deleted, I got a vibration at lower speeds and had more of a rattle/rasp noise inside the cabin. It might just be from the resonator being deleted...only way to fix this is to go back to a stock midpipe, or use this as a great excuse to do it right and get a midpipe

The small metal tab that is welded in between the 2 pipes broke a weld on mine and was rattling like crazy... I just broke the tab off... problem solved.

Finally...rattling problem solved...

Took it to muffler shop...charged me $20 for less than 5 minutes work...

They adjusted passenger rear exhaust hanger...

Took two people to do this...while i watched...

It was very painful to watch those guys...

One guy stuck a small pipe in the exhaust and held it down while the other guy had a long ax type tool pushing on the hanger ...

They were very rough on the car...but it got the job done...

Very happy now...

Moving on to next project...going to research these invidia mid pipes

People are saying it makes the rasp noise go away...

Anyways...thanks for all your inputs on this rattling issue
