Rattling Noise Can't Be Determined

I had those same test pipes. They are JUNK. Same problem that you mentioned. The flex joint in the test pipe went to $hit and made the rest of the exhaust wiggle around whilst driving and hitting the w brace under the mid pipe. Bought ART pipes and the problem went away lol

hope this helps

It would be helpful for others if you could describe what was found.

I was going to add, I have the same Z1 Cold Air Intakes and found mine were occasionally vibrating off the strut towers.

I'm interested as well to see what it was.
