Default X-pipe Rattle!!!!

Just installed my new Mac Prochamber. Problem is when I'm driving and hit it, there is a rattle when I let off the gas!!! Sounds like it's coming from the crossover box itself!!! Extremely imbarasing!!! Does anyone know the problem!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!

dont quote me but i think that is just an x-pipe being an x-pipe. Mine does the same thing between shifts when i shift slow. SOunds like the old marbles-in-a-can sound. Yeah it sucks and sounds cheap, when my exhaust definitely wasnt.

I recently had a BBK o/r X installed on my 04 GT 4.6 and I hate to tell ya.....Im afraid thats just they way they sound. I had to question myself on that one too but Im finding that Im getting more and more used to it. It is very loud, very raspy, and sounds just like "a marble in a tin can"!!!!! No doubt. I plan to experiment with my mufflers very soon. Right now I have Flowmaster Pro-chambers and thats it; no full exhaust system, no headers, nothing like that. Ive been reading the forum feedback and have heard to try some Magnaflows and/or spend the money to install a catted x. I havent decided but I will be making changes soon. Dont get me wrong, Im digging the sound right now but it is pretty damm loud!!!!

Ok all, my video sound clip loads a bit slow [:@], but it will load and it will play. If I can figure out a way to make it quicker I most certainly will "get er done"!!
