Sounds like car is falling apart. Tightened all exhaust and shields under car. Just can't find this rattle.

Just to add to this one have you checked the upper engine mount by the valve cover to see if its colasped or torn?Its really common for them to do that. Thats the first thing I would check. Let mw know what you find.
