    The exhaust pipe rubbing against the underbelly would be my guess.

    That doesn't matter. The pipe could have slowly moved a bit over time and has just now started to rub against the underbelly. My ORY sometimes rubs against the bottom when i'm driving and I hear and feel it.

    UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!
    so my friend came over and we were poking at everything seeing if the noise would stop. then he was like try revving the enigne a little, so i did and a chunk of something flew out of my exhaust!(see picture) is this piece important and what is it? i guess it was just rattling around in my exhaust pipe.

    Usually means the cat is bad. Could be more of it inside your muffler, or lodged in your pipes. Not good..
