Damn! You have an X-Pipe and no mufflers?
Of course you'll eventually get rattling. Your car will probably slowly become "unscrewed" in areas as well, increasing future rattles. I had no mufflers in my old Mustang GT (with stock H-Pipe with all 6 cats at that), and even that started vibrating areas of the car that wasn't vibrating before.

maybe find a way to dampen vibrations by wrapping the pipes with some sort of marterial?

Hmm, not sure if anything can withstand such heat?
I dunno. I assume that your setup is pretty damn loud, and that'll obviously vibrate around the car (thus loosening stuff up in a way, which creates rattles).
I'd say, try and find individual areas that are rattling if you could, and maybe fix them one by one.

Has anyone replaced the mufflers with straight through resonators? It seems like this might be a good way to bring the sound levels up without too much droning/vibration and hopefully keeping a deeper tone.
