Take the heat shield off the top of it. That might be your rattle.

I was blowing baffles in aftermarket resenators. It after the second or 3rd res in like 10,000 miles, I had the shop replace it with a piece of pipe. In my case, I have ZERO regrets!!

Why stainless if the rest of the exhaust will be mild steel?

Seems like you may be spending more than it's worth, unless you plan to go the whole exhaust stainless, then were talking good stuff

haha

X2... Although some rasp and drone will set in at about 3000rpm... I deleted mine, and have never looked back... Good luck,
