When I get on it I have a rattle sound at high RPMs that sounds like a sheet metal shield or something similar. The metal under carriage shield that wraps around the oil pan was slightly mangled from hitting a cross over pipe, so I fixed that when I replaced my exhaust last weekend. I replaced a missing hanger and anything else I could find that looked like it could be hitting trying to make sure and fix teh annoying sound.

Not certain that it is sheet metal shield or something, but that is what it sounds like to me, but it hits above 5,500 RPM and I want to fix it so I don't feel like I am driving a poorly sorted out junker.

Any suggestions on what to check out in the process of tracking it down?

check the catalytic converter heat shield and the exhaust heat shield.

I noticed the exhaust manifold heat shield was prone to rattle on mine. I had to bend it a little to not.

Ha!

You will never guess what the noise on my car was. It is the dam front brake dust shield on the passenger side.

Only found it because I bumped it with a wrench while working under the car. It was driving me nuts trying to find it. Never thought to look there since the dust shields are like new and powder coated showing no signs of wear or marks etc.

Awesome! Thanks everyone. I wondered about exhaust manifold since I just replaced the whole exhaust pipe with a test pipe and back section and checked what I notices and repaired what I found, but didn't necessarily know what else to check. This gives me some leads on where else to look.

Cheers!
