Question exhaust rattles

i just finished installing my tanabe hyper medalion and when i rev it in the garage it sounds great, but when i take it out it starts to rattle with a sputtering sound.....any idea what this is? it might be just a bolt thats not tightened enough but i'm not sure

any help is appreciated

searched but didn't find answer i wanted

here's what happend to me.

1) bolt was loose
2) 02 sensor wasn't plugged in all the way (doubt this happend to you)
3) It was hung to high and started hitting the car whenever I would come off the gas....<---look into that one,.

i had some weird noises when i first got my exhaust as well.....when i just rev...it would be ok...but the min i gun it ...lets say at the light....there would be some weird clankin tightening sound.....so i went to the muffler shop and they said that the piping was rubbing against the body and the only thing they can do was to flatten the top portion of the pipe

Check your rear pipe, it might be hitting the sway bar like mine did.

It's your exhaust system! hitting on the bottom of the vehicle where the aluminum heat shield are located, one under next to your cat and one next to your rear right tire. I don't wanna take the shield off either. I can't do anything on it, so I just have to deal with it.
