Answer
Hi Ricardo

A rattling sound could be many, many things, so please bear with me. We will go through many steps.

First of all, I would like you to check your exhaust system. Although it may look intact from the outside, it could be rusting inside, and not be visible. Especially the muffler, and the intermediary pipe, which has a double wall. The easiest way to check this is to get a rubber mallet and hit various parts of the exhaust system until you hear the sound.

Please try this and get back to me

Thanks and aloha
