hi, im getting an annoying exhaust rattle between 3500-4500 rpm.
It sounds very hollow, fartcan-ish.
What could the problem be, and how would i fix it.
The car is a corolla gti with extractors, and 2 1/4 in exhaust.

Do you have a heat shield over the headers?
If yes, put a spanner to it and check if it's bolted on tight

Could it be the 4A? 
but seriously, get under there and hit stuff with a screwdriver handle and find out what it is

Perhaps it's your cat converter (maybe the cat got out?)if it has one.

yeh, check the exhaust mount..
ive had an experience like this.. so i took it an exhaust specialist.. he told me that the metal bracket that attaches the exhaust to the rubber supports had broken off.. hence the rattling..
