I checked under the car and could not see any pipe hitting any of you guys got any idea what it is. BTW its a BA aug 05 XR6T 4 sp Auto. if that helps in any way.

Also, a common problem is that the heatshielding around the exhaust and cat can come loose and get rattly Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/43458-start-up-noise/#findComment-644362 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hit the exhaust with my hand (obviously when its cold), I could head a rattle/twang noise. Used to drive me bonkers. I got the muffler fixed on northside at performance exhausts (great guys by the way) but any muffler shop could do it. Good luck.
