Question to anyone and need help.

Anyone that's installed downpipes. I had my shop
Instal them and they are a very trusted shop in west palm beach, FL. I had the CVF down pipes installed. I immediately noticed after installing them when you put the car in reverse it almost makes like a rattling noise on the drivers side back of the car. And when you drive the car still makes a rattling noise and then it goes away. This only happened after the downpipe were installed and I know the shop does very good work so I don't think it's anything to do with the shops work. Has anyone ever had this issue after installing downpipe's, is it because more airflow is going through the exhaust so that exhaust is vibrating more. It's a weird sound though. I've never heard this sound until the Down pipes were installed. Also have the thermal 3in.

Sometimes the muffler can hit the bolt holding the shroud on just above it. If that’s it just adjust the muffler

I'll look in the morning. Thank you for the quick response. I know sometimes and I've heard they will drop the transmission a few inches to get to the downpipes. I have the old ones and they took them off without cutting the heat shield on them
