Re: metallic rattle after custom dual exhaust

My exhaust tone is rather low as some DMLers can attest, so I don't THINK
its that...although I do have the Flowmaster 50 3-chamber.
It sounds similar to what one might expect if they had a loose exhaust
clamp....but when I tap on the pipes I don't get the rattle.
Seems to only happen when I get just the right type of tone from the exhaust
to cause the vibration. It does NOT occur at a standstill...regardless of
how I stomp on it, only when the vehicle is in gear and accelerating??
...what I seem to need is a trusting friend who will hang outside my truck
while I drive it on the highway to locate to origin of the sound (it comes
from underneath the body...not out the rear where my exhaust exits) :-)
Well, I was hopin it might be a fluke that another DMLer has run into.
