Metallic Rattling

I only get it when I let the gas off and really notice it decellarating. It could be that its happening under acceleration and I just can't hear it under the engine noise, but I don't think so because its pretty loud. Any ideas? I've been looking for loose stuff. But it almost sounds more like something mechanical. Its coming from under the engine compartment, right side, best I can tell. I know this is kind of vague. I'm going to try and get under there tonight and see if I can hear it under the hood, with someone else in the driver's seat. Parked of course :eek:

Sounds like your heat riser exhaust flap thing, on the right exhaust manifold at the end.

Could it be a burnt out cat converter? Just a thought.
