Default SLP x pipe rattle?

Hey all,
I just installed a SLP cattedX on my 04 GT. For some reason I keep hearing this "rattle" or a vibration when ever i start off real slow (5 - 10mph) Then it seems to go away. Under hard accel, I can barely hear a trace of it. When the car is in park and i rev it up i dont hear anything, just the exhaust note. I checked and rechecked and there is nothing touching the car. All pipes are free from any moving parts. Could it be a leak and i justneed to re-tighten eveything? What do yall think? Thanks for your help!

In my case, I needed to re-tightena bolt on one of myexhaust hangers. Also might be that a hanger orsomething is loose,or needs re-welding.....

check your o2 sensors I installed an h pipe and I kept hearing a rattle and when I installed my stock h pipe back(it was too loud for me) I saw that one of my o2 sensors were loose so you might want to check that.

Hey thanks for the ideas. The noise has since gone away so maybe the new x-pipe just had to "set in". Thanks for the replies though!

PS SLP is freakin LOUD!!! (LM1 & SLP X)
