check the springs aren't rattling on the pipes. you may need to turn the clips the other way around.

did you put your clips the other way around? it rattled way more with the spring closer to the pipe, i tried both ways, still rattles tho, just glad i haven't lost my springs yet, but they are so tight on there i don't see how it would easily fly off hitting a bump or something
