Default strange rattling sound when engine is cold.

for about the last week my 98 ss has been making a rattling sound that seems like it is comming from the y pipe/trans area. it doesn't do it at idle or when cruising, just when i give it gas. and it goes away when the motor gets up to temp. any ideas? i was thinking maybe a cat going bad.
