Let us know if it progresses over time.

In my case it rattled a lot in the beginning but my friend applied pressure on the plate at an open angle, possibly bending it a little and it rattles less frequently now.

One thing I noticed is that you do have the valve pointing down (opens by pushing up) and I have it installed opposite point up (opens with the plate pushing down).

Maybe I'll try attaching it that way and see if it makes a difference.
If you flip it around, let us know if that helps with the rattle. I planned on installing mine the same way Chris did his.

Chris, I'd love to see a dyno comparison between this and some 3" straight through muffler.

And while you're at it, we're all still waiting for some video for sound levels.

May be too small. We'll see.

Looks like the rattle may be just a bug in an early batch of these things:

Well so far still rattling even upside down. But it doesnt rattle during cold start up like it did before.

Its kind of annoying sound when it rattles. Although I dont really hear it in my car windows up. I do hear it passing between cars or closed spaces. On the good side it mostly happens during the initial take off.

Any updates if yours rattles Chris?

I bet if you called Magnaflow that they'd send you another. Give it a shot.

Well I bought it from Jegs. So i just filled out a return/exhange form. So I'm gonna send it out tomorrow and hopefully the new one wont rattle.

Since the smaller displacement one rattles to I'm gonna return that one next after I receive this one for possible store credit or exhange for another larger displacement version.

Only thing that sucks is I painted the muffler, but hopefully that doesn't void anything.
