Default My exhaust is rattling

The exhaust on my Trans Am "rattles" when I'm in gear and slowing down....
How do you fix this?

Could be either the muffler or the converter falling apart internally. If so, replacement is the only cure.

what he said, in order to really tell you have to get under it and start banging on the exhaust, muffler, converter, heatshilds.. could be anything.

Alright, thanks guy, I'll have to lift it up and see what it is...
Honestly sounds like the exhaust is banging up against something.... only happens when the engine is rev'd up.
