Default Exhaust jingle?

When the car gets warm and when I give it gas it sounds like a jingle or change rattling under the car. Is this a common sound like something came loose or something major? Seems to be coming from near the middle of the car, haven't had a chance to get under it and look yet.

There is a small brace that runs between the cats the tends to fatigue and crack over time. That might be it. You might have to drop the intermediate pipe to see it. Be sure to disconnect the O2 sensors if you drop the pipe.

Check it out, my left side exhast fell of on a trip I took last fall. Lukily it was under warrantee and no damage was done to the car. My exhaust pipe came loose from the weld at the flange just under the driver seat.

I've got Borla Stingers on mine, it did it before I put the exhaust on but it seems to be getting louder and more noticeable now.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll have to get it up in the air and check it out.
:cheers:
