So I got her inspected...
A couple hours after getting my truck inspected, I developed a huge exhaust leak right by the shifter tunnel.
At least that's what I hope it is. It does kind of sound like gears rattling, but it also does it when I have the clutch in. So I hope it's an exhaust leak.

Check the breather tube off of the front CAT, it comes off at an angle and up to the EGR I believe. anyway, my just broke completely off recently after some miner work on my truck. It, it will just get progressivly worse till you fix it. I wrapped a piece of galvanized heat duct around it, and clamped it, it works like a charm.

OK, so there is no heat shield on the front cat. There is also a tube (I think it's the one you're talking about) that is attatched to the cat. If you can take a pic of what you did, I would appreciate it.

if it's an exhaust leak, it will have an almost gurgle-sputter sound to it but your engine won't have a noticeable hesitation accompanying it. if you've heard a volkswagen exhaust, it's kinda the same "gurgle-pop" sound, but a bit muffled.
