What would cause a rattling noise when shifting gears and in high RPM's?
Subarus are well known for having rattles in the exhaust shields under the car. There are extensive heat shields on the exhaust pipes that are held on with clamps. Over time these clamps loosen up and their bolts rust out. When the engine runs through certain RPM bands (as in shifting), these shields come into resonance and vibrate. If you get under the car and examine all the heat shields you will probably find the loose one. Replace the missing or rusted out bolts and the rattles will go away.
What is a catalytic converter heat shield?
A heat shield is used to keep high exhaust system operating temperatures from radiating to the floor of the passenger compartment or other vehicle parts that should not be exposed to the high heat. If it is mounted above the catalytic converter it becomes the catalytic converter heat shield. There can be other heat shields through-out the exhaust system not just the converter. The converter or converters, (some vehicles are equipped with more than one) are the hottest part of the exhaust system. Generally heat shields are made of stamped aluminized steel. They are light weight and effective in shielding various parts or areas of the vehicle from the high exhaust operating temperatures. They are also prone to corrosion after a long period of service, they can rattle and make noise once they become rusted from their mounting areas. They should under no circumstances be discarded once deemed broken. Instead heat shields should be replaced as they are needed for above mentioned reasons.
