I do have the stock muffler but it is 9 years old. and the rattle started about 6 mouths ago.

could be I guess but has it alway done it? if not then I don't think so. how old is the muffler?

Bingo!!!!!! it sounds like you found it. It drove me nuts I took it to the muffler shop that put my Y-pipe on. I keep telling them they cause my exaust to hit the bottom of the car somewhere. we went around and around until we found it. Just a broken weld inside the muffler.
NTW my has gotten worse everyday. I'm still looking for the right muffler sound
