Mine rattles bad, but doesn't sound like this either.... yours sounds like someone playing ping pong :P Almost like some metal is bending/flexing when your engine moves during RPM increase.

Looks like I'm having EXACTLY the same problem. It's getting worse.

During a cold start when the engine starts at 2Krpm and gradually decreases to 700rpm....it happens around 1000rpm....Sounds like a vibrating ***** in a metal can.

I'm on my 2nd exhaust system too and it's happening again... though not as often (yet)... it's been like this for several months... I told IOT but they haven't offered to replace it, saying a new part might come out. I haven't checked in lately. What are you guys doing about it? (other than ordering a diff brand)

Mine rattles at about 3k RPMS now along with cold idle... I called because this is just getting flat out embarrassing to drive. They said to bring it in Tuesday. They better have a muffler to replace it with.

I would be getting FI but I'm waiting for something that actually looks good and sounds better...
