The first one sounds like it's coming from the top passenger side of my dash (when i hit even the tiniest of bumps on the road), and the second one (I recently got an exhaust system put on) sometimes when I'm driving and the revs hit about 3.5-4k a little piece of metal vibrates vigorously in the roof. These rattling sounds are starting to make me mad, I dont want to spend the $75 to have it looked at at the dealer, so how can i fix this myself?

There is no easy method for this. Look search & try to eliminate.

^^ agree.. best way to fix it, is to take the time (and trust me it will take time) and find and fix it yourself. paying the dealer is just money down the drain as they will take your money and you'll still have the rattles. or they'll take your money and tell you "we couldn't find anything"..

the rattle in the roof can be sometimes solved by disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes.. reconnecting.. resetting the windows, and the sunroof. Sometimes the sunroof motor isn't keeping the cables that move the glass tight enough when closed. resetting can solve this

in the 05 tC's there was an issue with not using felt insulator O-rings on the bolts from the sunroof to the frame of the car, beginning in 06 and up they used them to remove the rattling.

also use some good silicone spray (that doesn't contain petroleum distillates, that eats rubber, cheap silicone sprays out there) and lube the weatherstripping around the sunroof glass. that can also help the rattles on the sunroof.
