Default RATTLE AFTER X PIPE INSTALL!!

So i got a upr off road x pipe installed on my 08 mustang. The problem that i am having is that there is a rattle coming from under the shifter area. I dont have a lift so i cant really see because my car is pretty low. Does anyone have any idea to what this could be?

I just did a Basasni Catted X and have the same issue, I am going to get it up on a hoist tomorrow and tighten everything up, I think after its been heated and cooled a few times another tightening can't hurt... mine isnt too bad, sounds like a slight leak under WOT and a little rattling from the heat shield that got bent during installation, could it be something similar?

Mine rattles from time to time, but its very annoying sometimes it does it non stop, and sometimes it doesn't do it bad at all. Please let me know what you find on yours. Thanks

Is it possible that things arent tightened fully, or that a heat shield is touching?

I have the same x-pipe. At first I has some rattles from the hangers hitting against the bolt head on the trans crossmember.
