      It could just be a loose flange bolt on your exhaust?

      It could be just about anything from the exhaust manifold to the muffler. Anything that has a screw/bolt and is not secured properly could be causing something to rattle. I think the best method to hunt it down is how someone in the car listening while you drive to help hunt it down or put it up on a lift

      I had the car on a hoist and got someone to put it in gear and hold the brake and take it to about 1600 RPM. The noise is definitely coming from the flex pipe.
