I think this rod is the source of my rattle, what is it and how do I tighten it?

I'm quickly realising that this one can also be described as a "terrible aftermarket exhaust". Thanks for the tip, I'll get it up on the ramps hopefully this weekend and start poking around. This exhaust already has the feel of "doesn't really fit" though, so I won't be suprised if it's the issue.

Thank you again for the help!
