Default exhaust rattles

I just put 2.25" piping on my 94 integra ls, and put on a RSX-s muffler.... The problem is, when in 2nd gear at high RPMs it has the rice rattle if you know what I mean..Is that b/c the resonater was taken out? any ideas? I want NO rattle..

Yeah if you are running a straight pipe (meaning no resonator) you will get that ricey buzz in your exhaust sound you need a resonator to get rid of it.

Would the fact that I hollowed the cat have anything to do with it? ttt

normally it's the canister right after the cat, if you hollowed out the cat this should give you a more raspy sound like you're describing
