What's wrong?

I hear like this rattle below my car when the temperature passes 200+, i only hear it when the car is in drive. If I put it in park or neutral and semi rev with the same temp i don't hear the rattle. Yes it's a V8 89 IROC, and I already replaced the muffler to Flowmaster and my catalytic converter is only 3 months old.

still might be ur cat, did u try getting under there and banging on it? or getting under the car while in drive, having someone hold brake? maybe its not the cat and just the pipe vibrating next to something.

the cat is clamped but I'm not sure if it's JUST the pipe because it takes me along time to get up. Like i step on the gas and car gains speed very slowly and makes very nasty sound underneath. I'll double check the cat.
