Rattling noise at start up

I am getting this rattling noise when I start the car up. I don't hear it any other time. It sounds like something is loose. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks in advance!

Does your intake make a suction sound when you hit the gas at idle?

Maybe the intake is loose. I'll have to check it. It sucks that I have to take the inside of the fender out to check it.

It can't be the muffler because it was doing it when I had the stock exhaust on and now it's still doing it with the GM performance exhaust on.

It's cool. I've been meaning to check it anyway.
