Default Most likely it's from the cold rain hitting the hot pipes. My Borla gets a little louder when that
happens.

Default rain hits hot pipes and makes them rub together.
my VM3 used to do that.

take it to an exhaust shop, have them find the point where they almost touch and weld a piece of metal in there.

worked wondesr, only $5.

Default Very common. I even experienced this on a 100% Mercedes C class.
The metal expands at differently when the top is hot and the bottom side is cooled.

Those with Non-Res Milltek, hows the sound while crusing on the inside of the cabin?
