Loud Rattling from headers ( i think )

My headers seem to rattle really loud at a certain rpm usually when i start my car or when i'm at idle. I've tried changing the header gaskets and i've listened for the sound outside of the car and its impossible to hear. I've moved the exhaust with my hand hard enough to try and hear any noise and nothing happened. Can anyone help me with this. Much appriciated. Drew

First try to pinpoint at least what area it's coming from. I'd get a piece of long hose, put it to my ear and snoop around the engine when you heard that sound. See what area it's the loudest around...
