Have a n00b question sorry =)

2000 Firebird 3.8

Hello, very sorry new to the forum, just picked up a Firebird after coming from a Mustang and have a lot to learn. I'm a big DIY'r and have some work to do on this car but it needs to start with this damn rattle!

The rattle is the exhaust just after the Cat hitting on what seems to be a cross rail. It seems flimsy so I don't think it's there to support the body but I may be wrong. Can I just unbolt this cross rail and call it a day or does it have a greater purpose?

Thanks in Advance!

That may also be your problem as they do rust an deteriorate. Try asking the guys over on Firebirdv6.com they should be able to help you track this down.
