C36 Rattle sound under acceleration
I recently got a C36 in seemingly great condition, that had been imported from Japan to the UK a couple of years ago. Under acceleration, particularly hard acceleration it makes a sort of rattling sound. I've found one or two videos on YouTube of other people's cars making the same noise:
Its very obvious in this one: https://youtu.be/4aHKdWcXMLY
And at about 29s on this one: https://youtu.be/gPp5Oe8kJ-w
But in all other videos I've found it's not there. Any idea what it is? Some comments in that first video about a decat, is it that?
Thanks!

Don't know about the rattle but could be something in the cat, lose fixture, bracket, heat shield?
