We subsequently discovered that the TurboXS Test pipes have a 2.5" ID and the stock Y-pipe has a 60MM ID with a 60MM gasket. What I am thinking is that 2.5 dumping into 60MM is causeing that connection to rattle. I am going to get a 2.5ID Y-pipe and see if that will fix. What do ya'll think?

Thanks for the help.
If it's a rattle, I'm not sure how a piping diameter of such small difference could possibly cause it. 60mm = 2.36" If you haven't already, use a large pry bar and put pressure on different spots in the exhaust. This should help you detect where the sound is coming from.

That sounds like a good idea. I am going to try that this week. Thanks a ton!!
