Fit it with a silencer seriously though you haven't said what they're doing. Are they slip jointed, knocking on something at idle or ?

Your long tubes are touching something. When you accelerate the torque lifts it enough up that it stops touching and therefore not rattling. Look in there see where its touching something. My friend has the same problem.

How many miles does your car have on it and, pending your answer, have you ever changed your motor mounts?

Are they an older header whose design flaws would cause it to contact the body at some point?

Same here. Either replace/upgrade the mounts or break out the hand grinder.

x2 on mounts if you haven't done so yet...though from what i hear, it's gonna be a Mega-bitch since you have headers on already. I did mine during header install.
