Rattling noise( metal tag?)

[snakeyes]

Recently I noticed on my 2003 SVT Focus that with the radio off driving at greater than about 40mph I hear a rattling noise coming from the front of car. I think it may be one of those metal tags that alot of people found on the radiator support front bumper area of their 03/04 Cobras. It sounds like a metal tag flapping in the wind kind of. Anyone know of this issue on the Focus. If so any ideas where to look. The car is essentially brand new it was a leftover and got a pretty good deal on it. I plan to look around for it as soon as I get a chance to put it up on a lift.

Thanks in advance.

Could be the heat shield on the cat. I had to have mine removed after less then a year of owning the car. From what I understand, it's fairly common.

Almost all our cat sheilds let go at one point or another. I'd say get a large intake style clamp. The circular ones that screw tighter. And use those to hold them on. Nothing else seemed to work for me. E-
