Re: muffler rattle
Probably the heat shield under the trunk, the metal rusts away around the bolts and it starts hanging loose. I removed mine.

Re: muffler rattle
You can grab one of the corners easily enough. Just give it a shake or a few smacks.

Re: muffler rattle
On one of mine I discovered that it was actually bits of gravel rattling around in the upturned lip along the trailing edge of the heat shield, not the shield itself.

Re: muffler rattle
Yeah mine do that as well. I'm getting a double shot of rattle here. Luckily OT is going to fab me an exhaust after reading.
