So after installing mine along with a revworks header and driving the car quite hard i gladly can say mine does not rattle at all i used the provided hardware and i had plenty of clearance all around. I also have the whiteline trans bushing so that might help a bit.

I've probably got about 800 miles on my Borla UEL headers + PLM over pipe, and I've had zero problems. No rattles, no CEL, fitment was great, and dat weight loss.

Managed to get myself a PLM overpipe supplied by FT-86SpeedFactory,
(63mm/2.5inches Outer Diameter with an inner Diameter of 60.5mm)

Feels really light and solid (Good quality),

Looking forward to installing it with:
Borla UEL(v2) Headers (58mm/2.25inchs Outer Diameter)
+ Catless Front pipe (63mm/2.5inches Outer Diameter)
+ Cat back (63mm/2.5inches Outer Diameter)

I decided on this overpipe based on the following:

1) Sizing
(Outer Diameter of 2.5inchs to complement my front pipe and catback)

2) Affordability
(Approx $195, as opposed to similar sized overpipes which go for +$300)

3) Build quality
(Its not the best, but its decent, lightweight, handmade and TIG welded)

Hoping to get maximum aggressive rumble / sound quality from the exhaust set-up.
(Not expecting any significant increase in power)

Thanks @Anthony for the information shared and your advice on my specific questions on your Youtube Channel

well, here's to hoping heat and my first track weekend this weekend magically fixes it.

oem header + plm overpipe + plm frontpipe = rattle when starting out in 1st
+ titanium wrap = slightly less awful sounding rattle
+ sti engine mounts = no rattle
+ jdl el header = rattle back again
