Please do not create threads in our "How To" subforums. Those are reserved for "How To" guides, not for public discussion. I have hence forth moved your thread to the "Problem Diagnosis" forum.

As for your problem. My guess would be that it is your catalytic converter. The metal screens in there tend to degrade over time and cause rattles.

Re: weird rattle sound HELP!!!

reach under the car and bang the cat converter. if it rattles it's knackered.

it'll sound like a tin can full of gravel when you rev it if it's broken.
