Where's the ratteling coming from?

It could be quite a few things see... One thing to check would be the exhaust heat shields because they work loose and need re-fitting now and again...

It could be where the exhaust bends over the rear beam, if you've not got it at the right angle it will knock on the beam when you go over bumps or have more people in the back as the beam obvisously goes up with the more weight you have in your car and it will knock.

I hand mine angled towards the left of the car if your looking from the rear and the top of the bend was slightly nearer the front of the car due to the pivot. Never had any problems after.
