You already know how this happens. The car is quiet in neutral. When you apply some torque the motor twists ever so slightly. Just enough for the exhaust components to touch something.

Photos are helpful. Do you have a support bracket for the test pipe?
EDIT: If you installed the headers you certainly have the skills to figure out this rattle problem.

Did you tighten your strut bar too close to your engine bay?
