Did you take off the heat shields on the overpipe/front pipe? The heat shields have several overlapping components that may cause rattling.

Also, it is rare but there is the remote possibility that the front pipe catalytic converter is bad. Mine was replaced under warranty because the honeycomb assembly came apart, was not making noise but was loose when you take off the front pipe.
