exhaust problem, skunk 2 rattling on tranny
ok well i just got home from my friends shop and he was supposed to change the oil, change my brakes and put on the skunk 2 megapower catback exhaust, he was able to do everything except the brakes because the delivery person brought the sedan ones not the coupe ones. So when i started up the car the exhaust sounded amazing and i had no problems with it, when i was ready to leave i put it into drive and it started to rattle against the transmission really bad, i mean i couldnt hear anything except the rattling noise and i can also feel it, my friend said that its bigger than the stock so that could be reason(obviously) but after a the car warmed up it really didnt do it that much, only when i was going into first and into second it rattled and than it stopped. Im going back to his shop tomorrow for the brakes and he said hes gonna try and fix it, is this just normal for a new bigger exhaust and will it stop eventually? anyone know what i can tell him to fix it with? who else has this exhaust and if u do do u have the same problem? thanks 
i really need to know

Rep Power: 813 its a common problem to have bigger piping rattle. it gets worse in the rain when the metal expands and moves. there is barely enough space for the stock exhaust so there isn't much you can do. My rsr makes noises sometimes but usually its quiet.

Rep Power: 476 ok well i got it fixed about 2 weeks ago and my friend just heated the pipe and bent it down cause it was hitting the frame, it still does it a little when it rains but other than that it doesnt rattle anymore
