Default why is my Y-pipe making my car rattle?

I traded my buddy my x-pipe for his pacesetter y-pipe. Now my car rattles ridiculously. I have poly motor mounts and the Y isnt hitting any where on the car. The only thing I can think of is the hanger in the back behind the back seats where the X-pipe was hanging is metal to metal? could that be the problem? any help would be great thank you.

What on your car is rattling now? Surely you can track it down...that would help us give you some suggestions.

the console the door's and the dash. No misfires and it only does when the car is under a load. Doesnt do it while in neutral and park.

The only thing I could suggest is that on Y pipes, I had to lower the driver side about an inch. It was hitting driver side floor board under hard acceleration. I took it to a muffler shop, he heat treated pipe and lower it. No problems. Hope this helps.
