Default Python slip-on muffler vibration

A vibration or rattling sound can be heard at idle or on decel, but sound fine otherwise. It appears just to be one of the pipes. You can tap the pipe and hear the sound on one but not the other. All heatshield and baffle bolts are tight. The baffle on the "bad" one was removed and checked for debris or obvious defects and not was found. It improved a little just removing and replacing the baffle, but it still rattles.

Anyone else experience this with the Pythons? Solution?
