Default buzzing sound from megan racing catback?!

ive been using my megan racing catback for about 2 months, and it's great.
but whenever my car shifts from 1st into 2nd gear and i immediately accelerate hard, the exahust will start to make a buzzing sound
this sound will go away if i let off the gas pedal.
is this normal for the megan racing exhaust?

btw, my car is auto..

old heat shield bouncing on the new exhaust?

By buzz do you mean like a errr-gameshow-buzzer or a metal-on-metal buzz? please elaborate

it didnt have this sound until i put on my catback, but i did put on a dc sports header at the same time though...i doubt its from the header, i can hear it from the muffler
and it's a very strange noise...ricey too!
