You might want to check the exaust manifold.

with the engine cold tap the heat shields with your fist to srr if there is any vibration or rattle. the heat shields do make a racket when loose. using a pair of pliers squeeze the end of the shield together making it tighter on the exaust. just make it tight enough to stop the rattling.
