Thanks WRXed, 808Subaru, iNfek & Hoppie!
Big ups to Ty, Chris, Dan and Jon for coming out to Ty's house!
Lot's of stuff accomplished even though we all left sunburnt and dizzy.
BTW...I got a weird rattle that sounds like it is coming from that hangar thing that is on the bottom of the DP. It rattles when I am in either 1st or 2nd and let go of gas without pressing on the clutch (sorry technical terms not working tonight).
It also rattles when I take a sort of hard left like if you're on a road and just testing your handling at like 20 MPH. I think it's coming from that clip/hangar thingamabob...is there anything I can use to wedge in there like a piece of rubber or something that can handle heat? If I don't hear back I'll go to checker's and see if they have anything.
P.S. it did it when I was reversing into my stall too...basically anything that makes the engine shake.

Did you install the turbo heat shield? if so then it could be the turbo heat shield... If you didn't put back all the screws and didn't cut the heat shield enough then it can rattle enough to hear what you're hearing.
For that exhaust support bracket... you might have to tighten the bolt down since it shouldn't rattle unless you didn't tighten it. It could also just be it's a very tight connection on the exhaust causing any engine flexing to make things shift and binde.
check that turbo heat sheild though.

The part that the dp hooks on to was a little bent when we put it on. The HKS is notorious for the rattle, mine did since yours is designed very similar could be that. How bad is it? Really loud or just loud enough to hear (and annoy)? If it is bad, I can help you bend it back.
And muchas gracias to all the above people and yourself for the help. You guys are the best. Thanks again. And let me know if the bolt is too loud.

The rattling is pretty loud...like a midget is lying under my car and tapping my floor with a little midget hammer.
DAMN YOU MIDGET!
I'll see what I can do this afternoon...I might try to gorilla that F$cker or use something soft (what? i have no clue).
All the other bolts/nuts are tight.
