Default Y-Pipe Trouble

I had a g2 Y-pipe with a 2.75 diameter installed from lmperformance on my 2001 ls1 trans am, a bolt on, added to the borla catback exhaust and I can hear like a stutter clatter sound when I am driving off as the rpms go higher and when I rev it up, but when I punch it goes away. It never made this noise with just the borla catback. Any suggestions? Could this be a leak in the connection of the y-pipe and the cats. I lifted the car up and when they rev it up you can see the y-pipe wiggle a little. I feel the power there when I punch it, but the stutter clatter noise is annoying makes the veh sound crappy! Could this be hazardous to the veh.

If it is no problem can you e-mail suggestions to ran_ws6_ls1@yahoo.com. I am at work all the time and I have faster access to e-mail. Thanks!

The insert (Plate) in the exhaust to the borla is loose. If you are running one.
