It's very interesting that you guys had the rattle against the frame. I had the same thing happen a while ago. In my case, tolerances were a bit different (as they can be) and filing away a bit of the frame wasn't enough. As the exhaust heated up, it expanded and started rattling again, against the cross member. After much tinkering and communication with the vendor, they agreed to send me a new resonator section with an inch taken out of the pipe. I have plenty of clearance now.
This seems to be a a design flaw in the 70R Sparrow. It might be worth letting the appropriate people know.

on another note now that i'd have the exhaust on for a while, the droning has lessened when the silencers are out, although it's still loud. I don't like to have the top up with the silencers out, the reverb in the cabin is to much.
also about the TP fixing the rattling, i had already cut the frame before installing the TP, so i cannot comment.

the drone is a real deep basstop up driving, the droning is pretty intense.
the tp does not fix the rattle. the rattle is caused by the resonator hitting the car. you have to cut part of the car where it is touching. i just did it and the rattling is gone.
i have yet to run it with the silencers.
