Default My rattle..it has become my nemesis

Here is what I have...

3.4L automatic

Just installed a new catalytic converter, had the entire exhaust gone over.

Here is what I also have...

I have a rattle that seems to be exhaust related, hence the new catalytic converter. that didnt fix it. I pulled the inspection cover for the torque converter and shot this video..I do not think its warped as there is no metal or grinding anywhere.

I think i have nailed it down to the passenger side. When I beat on the exhaust with a rubber mallet no rattle, but as you will hear in the video when I increase rpms I get the infamous rattle sound. Take a look at the videos and pleas offer up some advice..I am lost

well now I see that I can not load attachments yet..any ideas on how to get this video out there for visibility?

You should be able to link the video after your third post count.

You need to host it on a site like youtube, copy the url, and paste it here.

That sounds an awful lot like what I heard when my flexplate bolts starting rattling off. See my thread here:

https://camaroforums.com/forum/93-02...ncluded-68550/

Then again you might not want to look at what I ended up doing.

Get under there and check the torque of your flexplate bolts, also make sure they are all there. Use a pry bar to carefully turn the engine while you account for and retorque each bolt.
