It's more than likely a heat shield thats rattling, if not, when the cells break up they might end up going into the silencer and vibrating when you rev the engine. I had this on my RX8 and JCT600 had to replace the Exhaust as the cat had been changed just before i got it but not the exhaust.
It's annoying more than anything!
