HELP,

I have a couple of annoyances that I hope our vast pool of Miati
knowledge can help on.
1).  I have a tinny rattle underneath the car, it is very noticeable
while accelerating and/or revving the engine.  Any guesses, heat
shield is my first guess but before I start playing under the car, I
was hoping for a couple of other possibilities.

2). I have the Candoo Sport exhaust, love it mostly, except when I
have a passenger and they want to TALK, sacralidge, maybe, but it
happens that the wife doesn't give a flip about the beautiful notes
emanating from the rear of the car, and she really doesn't like when I
don't listen/can't hear her idle chatter!
I added a Monza resonator tip, but didn't notice any improvement, I
thought I remembered something mentioned about a baffle to add to the
tailpipe to help quiet the tones?
