Default Exhaust Woes

So I just had LG Super Pro headers (1 5/8") through the xpipe (3" rest of the way back)put on and swapped my stock A6 with the Z06 NPP mufflers.

Two issues arose, one my O2 sensors need the extensions. No biggie I can order those through LG Motorsports.

The other is I am getting rattles now .... Anyone have any suggestions on how to minimize rattle or eliminate it with the current setup? I know this is fairly popular so I'd think some of you have some experience with this....

I so can't be cool when you pull up to a light and it sounds like your car is falling apart.

HELP!

Thanks

Thanks for the link, though that system doesn't have the same issue as me it is still good reading.

It seems most of my rattling is from the axle area. If I apply 3# or so pressure either up or forward from the actual exhaust tips the rattling disappears, I was hoping to do something short of beating dents into the pipes themselves.

I know I'm not alone on this one considering how many people are running around with this same setup.

This is starting to feel like when I get tonsillitis and no one will talk to me because they think it's contagious.
