Banzai resonated midpipe noise

Recently got a Banzai midpipe for my fd3s. I got it used and the seller said he put maybe 20k miles on it, but it sounds like something inside the magna flow is rattling around. I'll attach a link to a video. What do you all think?

You sure its not an exhaust leak? For it to sound like that, you would have noticed before installing it that something was rattling around.

Well, that's the thing, I did notice a couple small pebble sized "fragments" moving around inside the resonator when I was inspecting the exhaust. They didn't sound large enough to me to make so much noise.

I think everything is pretty leak free from front to back. Even with my last midpipe I had an exhaust leak where it meets with the downpipe and I didn't have any strange noises.
