Default WHat is this sound

Everything is perfectly fine , but when i have the pedal to the floor it seems like it does it in 2nd and third , after about 4500 to 6k there is a sound that is very hard to explain. Its kind of like a rattle but hard to explain

I get the sound as well, at WOT it sounds like a cable rattleing up against the exhaust pipe. but when I look under the car... nothing? I thought it was the E-Brake cable but can't figure out what it is. I played around with the o2 sensors and they rattle when moved so I am assuming that the vibrations at WOT makes them rattle loudly enough to hear them over the sound of the engine.

hmm i wounder if thats what it is. when i went on the dyno it showed i was running a perfect A/F. so i kinda rulled out any detonation. ive started to ignore it but you know how that is. im just to lazy to get under there. im waiting on the headers .i think its weird how its only around like 6 grand though. ill have to get my O2s. have you fixed yours yet?
