Hey, thanks for the tip. I'm about ready to try it!

Actually, after 2 days on jack-stands I came to the conclusion that the 
rattle seems to be coming from the catalytic converter itself. I know 
that there was a recall for early cats., but the previous owner declined 
to have it replaced. Hope that doesn't ruin my chance to get it replaced 
free.
