Exhaust rattling

Recently my exhaust starting rattling. The mufflers are shaking causing the rattling. I have bottomed out a couple times in a driveway, but didn't think it was anything harsh. I was wondering if it is possible something got messed up. The exhaust itself is somewhat louder also.

thanks

Have you looked at it? Can you post a couple of pics? (One from the back and one from under.)

loose bolts on the exhaust. that's why it got louder 'cuase it's leaking. tighten all your bolts and see what you get :-)

You really need to get under the car. Bring it in and have some one put it on a lift.

I did a couple videos driving over the camera. I noticed the rattling was not that bad when I went to video it. I could not get much rattling. I had just started the car. When I noticed the excessive rattling, shaking of the exhaust I had just got home after driving her hard. Could heat have anything to do with it? I have to go to Mazda to get weather strips replaced. I'll mention this to them. Thanks for all input.
