Did alot of search can anybody help with this noise?

First of all searching on rattle on lotus talk garentees many hours of reading . I did a bunch of searching and reading but still cant isolate my problem.

It started recently after my first track day where I took it pretty easy. Every time I take off from a stop I get a terrible metalic rattle. It is hot just a minor anoyance it is very loud. It sounds like it could be heat sheilding hitting on something but I checked it everywhere and couldent locate a problem. I have the stage 2 equast and I did notice the Brackets are cracked at the weld which is very common apparently. However I dont think that is the problem as the tips still feel very secure and I dont think they could move enogh to hit the diffuser. Again the sound only occurs when pulling away from a stop and is quite loud. It is coming from the rear and sounds more from the passenger side than central.

Sorry for another "rattle" thread and all coments are appreciated,
AAron
