We configured a spacer kit which increased the clearance from the exhaust to the cross member and the rattle is gone. Too bad ARK doesn't include a spacer kit with the exhaust or at least some instructions warning you of the potential problem. Oh well, a quick easy fix once you know what to do.
you dont need a spacer. just have the exhaust installed correctly. hold the exhaust up as you tighten the bolts from the cat to the end.

thats the advice for installing any catback actually.

That may have worked for you but it did not work for me or some others. The spacer was they key, that or removing the cross member.
