Well, you can adjust it. I took the pics above to send to my mechanic to say 'hey, we have a problem, take a look at this!'. So after I sent them, he came back, got under my car, and was able to adjust it. The rattle is mostly gone now. But the tolerances are still very tight in that spot, and every now and then I'll hear a little rattle if my car is at a certain incline or something. But it's not enough to make me worried, and my mechanic said he saw no signs of actual wear on the spot that was making intermittent contact.

Now, one thing to keep in mind is that I don't have the headers yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the headers don't change the geometry more and make things worse! I'm getting the headers put on some time next week, so we'll find out. wstar has the headers, so part of me is wondering if his problem is worse because of them.
