Rip the extra heat shield off and that will get rid of the rattle.

mine started to rattle at around 2,000 first, then 2-3,000 then all the time. especially ugly when downshifting, as in when approaching a stop sign. and it wasn't just the heatshield... my little honeycomb section was broken into little pieces. I think there's still a few in my b-pipe/muffler...
