Default Ash tray rattle?

Ok, so after installing the exhaust a rattle near the cup holder has become more pronounced. It's the only rattle on the car. It sounds like it's under the ash tray. I know it's not my ash tray lid since I replaced it.

Any ideas? The OCD is kicking in lol.

I had a rattle in the console that was making me crazy trying to track it down. It turned out to be the mount for the cigarette lighter. It's plastic pressed into the plastic console. Lubed it with graphite spray and it's quiet now. Not sure this is your problem, but thought I would report my solution.
