Unhappy Help! Awful Noise

Whenever i stop at a light when in drive with my brakes on, there is a terrible rattling noise as if something is tapping in "rapid mode"
what the hell is this

Heat shield would be my 1st guess. Is your exhaust stock?

yeah, the exhaust is stock. i will check the heat shield in a little bit. but it sounds more like a metal rattling or metal hitting metal

Check your tensioner pulley. I had to replace mine and it was making that same sort of sound.

I even had to replace it twice.

piece of crap parts
