    Just bought dat bish
    Crawl under your truck when exhaust is cold, take a look at those heat shield and try and pull em apart. If they pull apart with no problem then you found your rattle. Get the old hardware out and put in new stainless hardware.

    Did you see if the heat shields are securely fastened?
