Borla Exhaust Problem Query

Borla Exhaust Problem Query
Hi all
I have recently upgraded my exhaust system to 2.75 inch Extractors, 2.75 Inch Metallic Cat (200cel) x1 resonator.
Now the borla exhaust creates a very loud metallic sound when ONLY under load, i have check everywhere for contact points but there is none,
I went to 3 different exhaust shops and they had me on the lift, and listened as i put the exhaust under load, and all 3 came to the same conclusion its the actual muffler.
Now the sound was modest in the beginning now it is very loud, and will continue from 2.5krpm - 8.5rpm.
Borla has said they will replace the exhaust system, however requiring me to send the unit back, from AUS - US for such a large item, i'll be almost looking at the price of buying a new exhaust. And to be frank i don't even think a new unit will fix the solution.
My exhausts shop has all said, it seems that it creates that sound purely due to insufficient packing inside the exhaust, would adding a resonator onto the borla exhaust help in anyway with the sound?
Does any other exhaust owner have the same problem with a hiflow - mid pipe?
Input will be greatly appreciated
Regards
Jason

I guess if the shops have all concluded that it is the packing of the muffler, there isn't much you can do about it. The extra resonator would just muffle the actual exhaust noise a bit, but wouldn't impact the rattling inside the muffler.
