I had the same issue. Her is what fixed my Jeep!

The heat shield above the Y pipe had one weld come loose. My fix was to pry the heat shield up so the tab would not rattle one the pipe. it's bee about 1 year and have not heard the noise since.

I may just have to break down and go to a muffler shop to see what they say. If they say it's the cats I'm going to bring it to a dealership and let then fix it.

Well just got back from the dealer. They didn't fix my problem but they find out that my gas tank was on the recall. They think my rattle is a gear shield in the tube right after the header.
