2.2 owners with the LSJ exhaust

Yesterday my friend and i installed my lsj exhaust onto my ls. It sounds great even for a stock exhaust, but i was wondering if anyone had any issues with rattling when they installed their exhaust. I'm pretty sure we're gonna have to go under the car again and see why its rattling. Even though i just messed with the hangers to pull the exhaust farther up, it seemed to stop rattling. Any input is greatly appreciated!

I had a rattle about a year after installing a full header back lsj exhaust... the culprit? There is a solid metal piece inside the downpipe flex section that had un-welded itself some how. I welded it back in place and the rattle is now gone.

Do you have an auto? If so look to see if the Cat is hitting the sway bar.

anyone have any vids of what the lsj exhaust sounds like on the LS? I have a buddy that will sell me his lsj header, DP, and stock lsj catback for a really good price. Only thing is that i have that SAI deal on my car, and not sure if it will affect anything other than throw a CEL if i dont "delete" it in the computer....

Well i'm pretty sure i fixed the rattle, i took two extra rubber hangers i had from my stock exhaust and put them on the new one. It seems to be working.

My Tsudo rattled against the rear axle/swaybar assembly, look under it without it jacked up and see how close they are.
