yes there are flex joints right basically right after the stock exhaust connects to the cat's. i have been under the car while it was on and there WAS a rattling noise coming from the flex joint area, but i fixed that (theres some heatshields a few inches down from the flex joints and i found some small pebbles in between the shields and the pipes).

im hoping to get under the car again today to see if i can bend any heatshields (as well as fix a CEL issue with some steel wool) which may be causing that rasp, but we shall see...going under the car while warm is pretty damn scary haha
