it could be the metal gasket. I'm pretty sure it has to be torqued to a certain amount of foot lbs.

Hmm... mine isn't doing that. Did you install the springs correctly? Tighten all bolts and gaskets tight enough?

Are you sure the heatshield isn't rattling? There's a big metal shield above the exhaust. That might be rattling..

take out that big OEM exhaust heat shield. and if you also have Tomei's straight pipe, there's nothing you can do.

is the rubber strip on right? (the one between the gasket and the muffler), everything screwed on tight? are you using the oem rubber brackets or something different? I have the same system along with the poly-u hangers and they're perfect...
