Default Rattle from front of dash/engine compartment

I just recently installed headers, a stall, cam, gears, ory in my 01 z28.. afterwards i noticed that i will get a very annoying rattle coming from my dash or possibly under my hood when the car is stopped in Drive.. for instance, while driving the car i dont hear it at all.. then when i come to a stoplight i will hear it.. if i shift it into neutral the sound is gone.. any ideas or suggestions on things that commonly rattle?? or am i just going to have to dig into it to find it? the car is actually getting a new stage iv rpm transmission right now, and when i get it back ill be placing plates in my borla to make it a little quieter and less raspy.. other than that though i dont plan on making any changes, and want to get rid of this rattle if possible.. it just drives me crazy!!! lol

I have a similar problem. My rattle only happens at low rpms. For me it's my passenger side header that is rattling against one the edges of the k-member. I could fix it but haven't taken the time to sand down the k-member edge. It would only take a few millimeters of clearance to fix.
