its not rattlin. Its the sound of the colder outside air being sucked into the pipe when you let off the gas. The noise you hear is caused by the cold and hot air meeting causing a noise that sounds like rattling. Mine does this too and it is pretty much normal.

yeah its normal, what some people do, is weld a bullet muffler right before the cutout to quiet the rattling or get rid of it.
