grab the gear knob while you go for high rev to see if is the problem,
I lock down my rattling sound is from the gear knob once I go high rev but have not found a solution yet...
anybody who found a solution would greatly appretiate it if you drop me a line.

Once had a small stone in the muffler. That rattled.
Cat converter started rattling a few months later and had it replaced under warranty. Problem? No idea.
Sorry can't help more.

Check the bolts holding the heat shield over the exhaust are all tight.

mine used to rattle - the exhaust cracked under the heat shield, and that loosened the HS which then rattled...

Or it could be pre-ignition.
Try a tank of premium or check the timing.
