Rattling noise at 3500 RPM

I've had an APS TBE installed for a couple of months now. I've noticed at around 3500-3800 RPM there is a deep rattle sound coming from the the front-driver side. I'm assuming the exhaust is causing something to resonate loudly. Anybody else experience this? If so, is there a good starting point to look?

Re-angled? The resonating sound is coming from the front. Will that help?

Is it touching the ACD housing?

I don't think so but I could be wrong. It's wierd because I experience the noise at the same RPM range in every gear.

I had a rattling sound with mine a few months after I had it installed. The downpipe was sitting on the bar that sits under it. I think the exhaust settled after a while so I put so I put some more spacers (i know that isn't the technical term for what they are) there where the brace for the exhaust bolted on and lifted it and fixed the rattling problem
