Cat Back (rattle)

Okay I install a Helix catback and it is great but when I place the car in reverse I hear a rattle sound... All the bolts are good.. What could the sound be?

Get under the car and shack the exhaust and see if you can hear anything.

Thanks for the help but it is not the hangers and when I shack the exhaust there was no rattle sound.... Strange but the the sound seems to be coming from more of the cat area
