Got it solved.It was a thicker metal flange around the exhaust.A spot weld came undone.Mechanic retacked and all is good.

I know this is old but how do I do that.

I only get the noise when it is really hot weather.

The noise is stil there.all shields removed even underneath car.

Had 2 mechanics go over exhaust while having other work done.

I do notice I only get the noise in really hot weather,

Not a peep all winter and cooler months.

do you get a manual trans? if yes then check the 2 shifter cables if they are rubbing against each other... i just had a hard 2 months figuring out mine and lamost ordered a clutch set as advised by 2 shop mechanics i went... with endless troubleshooting i even got 1 bolt off the exhaust damaged since i suspect the exhaust was making the sound.. when moving the engine while it is off, there is a slight sound too but that is near the exhaust and just the 2 shifter cables grinding each other... i could be wrong but it is worth a try if you have the stick shift. I placed a rubber cushion in between the metal guide and put a little grease and voila all the unusual metallic sound are gone.
