Wonder if its the same thing mine does. I've been told its in the cat, some shit falls apart in teh cat, and rattles at a certain RPM. Could be that maybe.

check the cat mount bracket for crackin or loosness. another thing to check.. take the cover that goes over the cam gears off and see if the belt flaps . this is common, it may be time for a belt and tensioner kit.

I listened for that noise last night, and I can't hear it anymore. I have'nt really heard it since some dumbasses in a blue focus and black Hyndai ran me on 494...LOL

a creek. most common are the stabalizer links. check your stab bar bushings for craking or dry rot. also the control arm bushings are good for nvh problems.
