    Couple of things to check:

    Listen to the bearings at the back of the clutch housing
    Listen to the throw-out bearing
    Check to see that the AC pump pulley is round and free
    Check to see that the Alternator pulley is round and free

    And don;'t forget to check to see if the exhaust bypass valve is rattling

    Just noticed mine has a very similar sound coming from it. I never really though much about it but since installing the capristo exhaust I seem to notice it more.
    Doesn't look like the OP is still very active here.

    Did you ever figure out what the noise was?

    I have the same sound, it's called the engine running.

    it sounds just like the notorious by-pass valve rattle .... or ...... a panhandler shaking a tin can with some coins in it ........... only it runs a little more than 'spare change' to fix the by-pass .......... :eek:

    My guess contribution: bypass valve, heat shield rattle, lose cat material.
