I had a similar problem, sounded like a bolt was rattling around in my cat when i hit about 3500rpm. It has since stopped happening, until i installed my cat back and i came back for a few more days, then stopped again.

Any way you can get under there and shake it a bit?
It could be the first part of the b-pipe hitting the bar that stregthens the exhaust tunnel. If not it could be the y-pipe hitting the crossmember as the engine tilts while revving. What kind of y-pipe is it?
