noise/rattle/vibration up front?

i got in my tc today and when i started the car it sounded like a loose rattle up near the front right tire... it almost sounded like piping, but idk... maybe a heat shield? any one have a similiar problem, or solution? thanks

i just got that fixed today....my problem was the manifold above the exhaust...it was bent in and was hitting the exhaust pipe....its either that or the heat shield...
