If the noise sounds like a tin can rattling, it may well
be the heat shield wrapped around the bottom curve in the
exhaust downpipe. Angela's did this; 5 second fix with your
bare hands (car COLD!). Just squeeze it a little until it
stops rattling - it's like heavy duty aluminum foil.

Only my cat shares my opinions, and she's too heavy to care.
