It seems that maybe the two spring/bolts holding the pipe to the manifold, might be weak, and
the torque from the engine at moderate to quick acceleration separates the joint enough to
cause some blowby around the gasket inside the joint? In winter and summer when the exhaust
gets splashed, it shrinks away from the joint also wanting to seperate, my theory anyway?
The metallic rattle noise is primarily when going straight, fairly quite in turns, although
there seems to be about a 1/4 inch lateral play (pulling up, and down from above) on the
CV's, since rolling along might think the CV could move around, but I agree in turns you
would hear a clunk, clunk, clunk, but I don't hear that.
