Do you have an aftermarket muffler? Sometimes the heat shield will break loose and rattle.

Have you tried getting underneath and looking around for something loose? You can also grab a hold of the pipe or muffler (preferably when it's cool) and shake it around to see if you can replicate the sound.

I have this too. Only on a cold start. I've just been really easy on the throttle until I get to operating temperature. Which coincidentally, is good practice anyway. I have the stock exhaust system.
A buddy of mine said he thought it was the cats, no idea though.
