Icon2 High Pitch rattling on high RPM's

I'm not sure what it is, and if anybody have any idea... Everytime I race my car, there's this high pitched rattling underneath the hood on high RPM's.

I've never had it before. I don't think its my CatBack or anything... It's just annoying.

Anybody?

I've heard that the heat shield often comes loose. Might want to check that out.

Thanx a whole lot guys. never thought of that... It was just getting annoying.

I will take a look at the heat shield.

And I don't think it's coming from the inside the motor. I could tell though that it's somewhere underneath. I'll check it out.

Thanx for looking out.

heat shields are a possiblility, if you still have the original springs on the exhaust flanges try replacing those too. i found a tsb (technical service bulletin) from acura on alldata that the springs tend to weaken and cause a buzzing/rattle noise.
