Does it do it all the time, or just when cold? There is a TSB for a rattle that occurs about there when cold (mine does it). That's caused by some plate between the tranny and engine as I recall. If it does it when the engine is warm, that it's a different issue... If you think it's the exhaust the first thing I would do is get under the car and see if anything seems loose at all with the exhaust. Could be something as simple as a loose clamp bolt, etc.
BTW what is TSB? Is there anyway to fix this? Is something loose? Should I be concerned?
Thanks for the reply!!

This is exactly what it is. It happens the loudest when I leave for work in the morning and when I am shifting between 1st -3rd. It also happens in the afternoon when I leave work heading home but it is not as bad it just sounds loud because I park in a garage and it often will set off car alarms because of the echo. Anyway I have noticed it only does it if the car sits for a hours and me not running it.

There is a way to fix it per the TSB, but it would be more expensive than I'm willing to pay. I don't think not fixing it would be any reason for concern. I actually use it as a warning - when the engine is cold, you should be staying off the gas, so if I hear it rattle I know my right foot is too heavy for a cold engine. I actually kind of like it for this reason... I have no intent to fix it.

TSB = technical service bulletin. Here's the one likely for your problem:

!! I am guessing this is not one of those recalls that has to be fixed? Speaking of which are there any dire recalls that have to be fixed? I read through several of those TSB's but did not see where any were a must have fix. I asked the guy I got the car from but he could not remember. Just was wondering.

Yeah I looked up TSB after I posted. Google is my friend !! I am guessing this is not one of those recalls that has to be fixed? Speaking of which are there any dire recalls that have to be fixed?

I'm not aware of any issues Ford has actually issued a recall for. As far as I know, best case for any of the TSBs for 2006 is a fix under warranty. The one exception is the spark plug issue since Ford doesn't require/recommend replacement until 100,000 miles (and therefore outside the warranty). So long story short, if you experience any issues there is a TSB for, you're on your own for the fix.

TSB's are not recalls and the manufacturer and dealer have no requirement to repair it on their dime after the factory warranty expires, although once in a blue moon you'll find a dealer that'll cover it out-of-warranty for the sake of pleasing a customer (imagine that).
If you plan to go FI for the biggest power gain, then expect to pay in the range of $4k - $7k including the blower, suspension and other supporting mods. If not, then the CAI & custom tune along with cams and LT headers are your 2 biggest combo mods for the bulk of power gains. After that, it's mostly nickle and dime gains.

Thanks for all the responses. I am looking at a few CAI and tune combo. However I have been reading on other upgrades/addons and I am wondering, how hard would it be to turn my GT in to a Roush? Would it be worth it? What are the cost differences?
