Are you sure it's nowt as daft as a lose lambda sensor? I have seen this lots of times, most recently on a mates brand new G*lf! Nip it tight and problem was solved?

ok im gonna sound stupid now.
wheres the lambada and where and what are the headers

The Lambda is just after the turbo located in the down pipe, its a sensor and will have wires going into it.
Headers are the exhaust manifolds, carry the exhaust gases from each bank of cylinders to the turbo.

ok i don't think its a rattle from the headers. it sounds like its comin from inside the down pipe but what could it be. its defo comin from that area

Check your brake pipes where they run against the bulkhead. Mine rattled like f**k, I thought it was coming from the heatshield......
