Ok, got 'em installed. The real test will be tomorrow morning as to whether or not this works for me. Thanks again for your help. I'll post results in the morning.

Good news! This 100% solved my problem! I no longer have that hideous rattling noise on cold starts!!! It's kinda weird now b/c I'm so use to hearing it, that the silence just threw me off, lol. Thanks again MTAS for your help! I strongly suggest this or the original being a sticky. I don't know why some people said this didn't solve their problem. Maybe they were having a heat shield issue. Anyways, the only rubber washers I found were at Lowes, and were used for toilet bowls, lol. Again, thanks for your help!

Good to hear! Yeah it's kind of like having the hiccups for a spell - by the time they're gone, you're so used to them that you almost "will" yourself to have one LOL
