Possible exhaust leak

Ok well heres the deal, starting yesterday when i started my car up there was a rattaling sound coming from the back of the exhaust pipe. It mite be coming from the last cat. Is this an exhaust leak or could it be something else? also how much could it cost to get fixed . my car is a 1996 eclipse gs thanks for your help

probably a loose heat sheild. reach under the car and try to shake your exhaust. listen for where the rattle comes from and make it stop.
