I bought an Invidia Gemini system brand new from a vendor on Facebook a few years ago, currently has MAYBE 25,0000 miles on it, and its developed a metallic rattle/volume increase (think "BLAT" type sound) in midrange RPM under heavy throttle input.

Exhaust was completely fine until a recent drive to CO Springs, where on arrival it developed this characteristic. Took it to a shop to check for leaks and nothing was found so I'm wondering if the excess heat from 8+ hours of driving ended up hurting the resonators or mufflers. No rattles found when poking at it on a lift either.

Anyone else with an Invidia run into this issue? Current set up includes Stillen G3 and test pipes.
