This stupid rattle has been driving me bonkers and its about time i put a stop to it. At first i thought it was coming from the drivers side wheel area but I think it might be coming from the bottom of the car. So im thinking it might be like part of the exhaust rattling against a hanger or something like that. Take a listen and see if you can agree or disagree.
If it is coming from the exhaust piping what are some things i can do to make it stop? It's just so aggravating to listen to at idle and takes away from the nice roar of the engine and exhaust. Thanks guys.

Exhaust pipe is hitting something, maybe against the frame or heat shield under the car, you will need to get underneath it and take a look. Sounds like a rubber hanger came off, only one way to find out!
 
Try sticking a big pry bar above the exhaust near a hanger and pull down, it should give you some clearence.
