Skid plate rattle?

Hello everyone, I've got JDL UEL headers, JDL ultra quiet op/fp, as well as the N1. Recently I've been hearing a sort of airy hissing sound with my exhaust note. I don't believe I have a leak, could it be that my exhaust is shaking my skid plate causing it to make this sound?

Skid plate .......??

OK, whatever ......

You might try tightening up the bolts that hold it on ...... or take it off for a test run, if you suspect that is causing that sound.

Tight the header bolts again and inspect the plate for rubbing, if you find some scratches on plate you can "massage" it and get a spin for test.
