"metal rattle" sound coming from stock exhaust
I have an '08 w/ about 6500 miles, and after the car has been sitting for some time (long enough where the engine is cold) I hear a weird sound coming from the passenger side, sounds like it's from the exhaust and gets louder/quieter depending where the rpms are. It sounds like a raspy metal vibrating noise, and seems to go away for the most part once the car is fully warmed up after 5-10 minutes of driving.
Is this normal for the stock exhaust, or is there something wrong? The other day my wife was standing behind the car when I started it up and at idle it must have been making the noise, because she got in the car and asked what was wrong w/ the exhaust

Search for broken resonator rattle and see if that sounds like it. usually happens in titanium set-ups but happened to me as well with my Mugen AP2 exhaust. I would guess it could happen to stock exhaust as well.

Hmm...does that sound likely though w/ just 6k miles on my car? Plus, the sound basicaly goes away seemingly when the car is fully warmed up after driving a bit---in those threads in looked like the sound they talked about was always there
