So It’s definitely not the wastegate. I did the recommended spring fix. Below is the video I took of the sound. It’s definitely in that area that’s creating the tin can sound. Any ideas?

Truck running ok? Almost sounds like lose turbo couplers. That's pretty substantial

How many miles on your truck? Sounds like catalytic converters. On a cold truck, hit them with a rubber mallet. I bet they are broken and will rattle.

Ive had this happen but my truck would intermittently stall due to restriction.

What happens when you rev? Kinda sounds like something hitting the flywheel. Maybe the starter isn't disengaging completely?

I just had the same problem it turned out to be in short muffler the piece that separates the two parts broke loose and sounded like a bunch of bolts in a tin can just to be sure it wasn’t the cats I cut it open. Sounded so bad and I thought for sure it was the cats. New SPD Trombone pipe and problem solved
