Default Rattle under deceleration

Once the car warms up, I have a noise that sounds like marbles in the exhaust under deceleration. It doesn't matter if I am in neutral or driving. Once I rev the engine and let off I get the noise. Any Ideas what it could be? Car is stock with stock exhaust, and runs fine. Thanks.

Is it like a jingle sound? A common issue is with the 2001+ stock H pipe making a jingling sound on decel. I replaced mine with a Corsa X pipe and Indy Pace and the sound was gone.

It's probably a cat beginning to break apart.

Time for full long tubes, x-pipe and borla cat-back! That'll fix it.

Change Borla to GHL and you've got it.

I cant get anything to loud. Would it be a better way to go, headers, x pipe, and stock exhaust, or stock manifolds, x pipe and cat back?

if you get a xpipe you will have to cut into your stock manifolds i believe. I would just get a catback I know Corsa are great with no drone. My B&B with prt's had no drone but when I added the headers and xpipe it got loud. Another option is headers xpipe and Ti's they are very quiet until you get on them. You have a million options everyone has a personal prefernce what is "loud" If you have any clubs around or gathering go to one and go listen to them.

with the second option, headers, xpipe and ti's. In my opinion, it's the best bang for the buck and won't **** off the wife or neighbors.
