Its usually just the heatshield.

thats what i figured,   whats the best way to fix this   take the heatshield off   or   have it  welded a lil???

rip it off.
i had that problem too on my cat from the isuzuperformance header set up.  I was under there and seen it was halfway off on the top, so i just ripped the rest of the heat sheild off.   No bigge
 
 
mine started to rattle, wasn't the heat shield..ripped that off. Something inside broke off..?..had to get a new one installed.

if its a loud metallic rattle, its probably the heat shield.  Just rip it off.  But if it is a quieter high freq. kinda rattle, it could be an exaust leak.  get under there and check it out.
