Resonator Removecd, Rattling Noise

I just got the big resonator removed today and I love how the car sounds now. I had my brother rev the car a bit while I was behind the car and I can hear some rattling coming from the passenger side. What might this be?

Sorry no pics of the after, but it just looks like any other straight pipe welded in:

i would probably get under the car and check your exhaust hanger mounts. make sure you dont have any metal on metal contact and then go from there

Its possible that something inside the muffler has broken off. Its unlikely though. If you didn't notice the noise before then that shouldnt be an issue. Someone left a tool somewhere? Try the hangers, they may not be on right.

Yeah I didnt notice it b4, its probably now that I reved it, i hear that sound (i never had the car reved with me behind it when the resonator was there).

Here is a quick shitty cellphone vid I took:


I promise ill get a better vid with my 10mp camera.

I cant hear a rattle. If it is just that muffler it stands to reason that a baffle is loose or something is in it.

If the exhaust was lengthened or shortened it could be runnign into the heat shields like someone above said. Happened to me when I put my headers on.

How much did it cost you to have it removed? I have heard it's usually around $40

They charged me $50. Some places I called quoted me $80-100. So I just went to the fourth shop I called who told me I could get it done for $50.
