Default Megan Testpipe strange rattle sound?

I installed my megan testpipe today and noticed a strange rattle sound whenever the rpm reaches 1,500-2,000; 3,500-4,000. It sounds like there is something inside the pipe. I checked it before installation and everything was clear. What do you guys think?

Did you check the O2 sensor to see if it was loose? I had the same sound and when i checked the mechanical o2 fix, I found that o2 sensor was coming off the O2 mechanical fix.

It sounds a little bit louder than stock. Everytime i floor it i can hear a low rumble noise that wasn't there before.

My little brother said there's a whistle (whine) noise that sounds like a turbo spooling up.

Definitely worth the $98.
