Hi:
99% of the time it's a heat shield on the exhaust. Bang on the exhaust with your hand or a rubber mallot. I bet you find it. It will most likely be the cat converter heat shield. If it is, just take a couple steel hose clamps, join them together, and rap them around the shield and converter and tighten it up.

If this doesn't work, let me know.
Joe
