Default weird exhaust rattle

i have dual 6in stacks that have been on for quit some time, i have a weird rattling noise coming from it, it gets worse when driving and can still be heard when at idle. now when i shut down it makes a loud rattling noise then stops. could i have toasted my turbo or something. i have had this noise for 2 days now and drove over 70 miles since it first started and my boost is still reading normal and i have no turbo lag or anything. or did some ars wipe think it would be funny to stick something in the exhaust pipe and its now rattling around? its dark here now and has gotten worse so i checked to see if any clamps were loose or if something was touching my exhaust and so far everything has checked out. i just hope its not the turbo. wasnt planning on replacing that yet

I'd say somthing went down your stack, I guess it's up to you to figure out if it was on purpose or not
