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
Positive feedback is appreciated.
