Well too lazy too look, hope you can get motivated to search under your car for a loose heat shield. Most likely what it is. (Sorry had too)

Have fun

Had either a smilar or the same problem. When ever I reved my car I heard this metal noise like somthing was clanking around.

Problem: OEM muffler was blow out

Fix: Magnaflow cat back

If it' not the heat shield its probably the muffler but either way it's not a hard fix. So good luck

yea i would suggest sitting there and have yourself or someone else listen around the car as you rev it to see exactly where it is.

i once backed up into a little dirt pile, and a day latter noticed a rattle.... thier was a stone or two in the muffler.... ( went up my tail pipe!!!!!) Have someone outside the car try and pinpoint it before you spend any money. a little rattle can be nothing.

Is the sound from the front or rear of the car? If the rear I would say: Catalytic Converter. If the it is from the front I would need more info!
