rattling issue??

i jes installed my turbo back yesterday nite, a turbo xs downpipe, turbo xs test pipe and greddy evo 2 catback, drove it around and everything seemed great, drove it to school this morning, about a block away, then drove about an 1 hour and a half on the freeway and i noticed while i was on the free way i would feel a thud thud thud, every so often....as time went on and i drove more, it became more and more constant, now right when i start moving its a huge rattle, what is most likely my problem and what could i do?
thanks ian

your mid pipe is hitting your driveshaft well the piece that hold the driveshaft in place. U need to get under the car again and readjust the hangers and push the exhaust to the passenger side more. My car did the same thing at about 1600rpms the exhaust would move alittle side to side for what ever reason and after I adjusted it it went away.

Mine rattles like a beotch as well. I was thinking of maybe constructing some sort of bumper down there that would keep it from hitting metal on metal and annoying the hell out of me?

Did it go away for good, or do you have to keep readjusting it? I hope this isn't an issue when I get my exhaust system.
