Default Sidepipe rattle

After a long run last week my right side-pipe started rattling like a tin bucket full of scrap metal.
Any ideas what might have come loose inside or what can be done about it?
I know what the inside baffles look like but where and how is it welded together? Can it be repaired without taking the whole thing apart? Is there any warranty on these parts? I only have 7000 miles on them, they shouldn't be coming apart yet.

While I'm at it, I was thinking of quieting them down some (I know its heresy). If I have to open them anyway what could I do in that regard? Has anyone used those cones that go just behind the collector?
Don't get me wrong I like the sound and have received numerous compliments, but of 50 Cobras on the run last week mine was the loudest. I know my neighbors would appreciate it if I could dial the volume down a notch without messing with the sweet tone.
