Default 73 exhaust pipes

I'm getting a rattle from the behind the cockpit at some RPMs, and I think it might be the exhaust pipes. There's a place where the dual pipes come close together before spreading wide again to get around the spare tire, and in my case the pipes are touching. I suspect there should be some space between the pipes, like at least a half inch. Does anybody know how much space should be between the pipes at the closest point?
