Mine makes a rattle very similar to what you've explained. Although, It was there before I installed the LMII. The other day while doing some fine tuning, I was banging the heat sheilds with my hand to find any buzzes. I ended up bending one of them slightly and no more rattle at all. So. Hope you find it.

looks like ill have to give it a look under there, where are the heat shields at that you guys had to bend, because the rattle is coming maybe from the driver side

I have a LM and I know if something were to rattle it would not be the actual exhaust, maybe a heat shield or something. Check all your bolts and clamps. The pipe that runs over the rear axle,,,,, it might be so close to the axle that it actually hits it, just adjust. But if it rattles on startup,,, wow...maybe it is your cats or y-pipe. If all connections are tight and nothing hitting the axle, then look else where.

well i dont have cats, and it just seems like it does it at low rpms, i guess it does it at start up because the rpms are a little higher untill the car warms up.

mine doesnt rattle, but it has an odd sound when i let off the throttle at around 2 or 3 k ... i had to weld mine together where it goes over ther axle though because the clamp wouldnt hold the exhaust together at wot, it would always blow the back section off no matter what kind or type of clamp i used and they were deffinitely tight enough (because i tend to break exhaust bolts from how much i tighten them) then id have dragging exhaust. but welded it and problem fixed, next for noise problems i got to stiffen up my frame.squeaks are anoying when gunning it.
