Default Exhaust Rattle When Hot - 01' 986

As title suggests I am hearing what I believe is an exhaust rattle once the car is hot and only around 1,800 - 2,300 RPM +/-

It's an 01' base 986 with a little over 60k miles

I can hear the rattle both at a stand still in addition to the car being under power (same RPM's as noted above).

No performance issues at all with the car.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you either have a broken ex bracket, or broken weld or fatigue crack inside the muffler.

Probably time for a new muffler.

Quite possibly a broken cat - I've had two now on an '00 S with 66K miles.
