RS*R EXMAG exhaust causing car shaking.. making rattle noise at idle/stop???

I recently got the RS*R EXMAG cat-back exhaust for 92-00 Civic. I am using Stock CAT and header. A couple days later after installation I was aware of car shaking a little bit thus making rattle noise when it is idle at a stop. I was able to identify that the source of the rattle is not from cat-back but from the front end. I don't have that problem with my stock exhaust and I wonder would it be sloppy installation work? it seems like that's not case because I had the installation done by a muffler shop and the installation is an OEM fit with no welding...etc. I used new gasket too.

Please give me some advice
Thanks

they probably didn't tighten the bolts near your header/cat all the way.
