Other then checking for the usual loose nuts and bolts, what else should I look out for when I take a look under my car for the exhaust rattle?

Thanks!

BTW: Its totally stock.

Jack it up.
Wrap a rag on the end of a board.
Bump the exhaust at different places.
It's probably a bad cat..

Icemark

or a bent heat shield

Mark always beats me to it!!!!! Mine was just that, converter heat shield.

Icemark

yeah the lower main converter heat sheild tend to shear off at the rear mounts (or is it the front mounts??? You'd think I'd remember).

Grab it (when it is COLD) and shake it around, follow the sound then cut the bad stuff off and replace with new

Thanks guys! I'll keep an eye out for the stuff you mentioned.

Mr. Eccentric

The heat shields rust at all the connection points. Mine was dragging down onto the road, I thought my whole exhaust was falling off, then I looked under. It seems to be worst right where it meets the y pipe. There's a hanger there that's integral with the y pipe, stupid design, to really fix it right you have to get the whole unit replaced. I welded mine up and it's holding for now.
