A few weeks ago, I had an extremely annoying rattle underneath my 95 disco, so I took it into meineke because I thought the muffler had gone bad (already took out the resonator and replaced it with a piece of pipe). The guy there pulled out a stick that was lodged between the heatshield and muffler, so of course I felt like a moron. Anyhow, that seemed to fix the problem.
Now another rattle is coming from under the truck that sounds like its in the same place, but I can't tell for sure. I banged on everything with a rubber mallet from the exhaust manifold to the tail pipe, checking the heat shield too, and i hear no rattles. This morning, I tightened the exhaust manifold bolts just in case there was a leak coming from there. No difference. I read a couple posts about bad cats making the noise, but when I bang on them, they dont rattle.
The weird thing is that it only comes after the truck heats up to normal operating temp. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Bad cat converter. Have a shop cut out the offending side (or both) and weld in replacement.
