Default Exhaust Rattle on start up only

When I start the car, for the first 5 seconds the exhaust rasp is horrible/tinny sounding like a heat shield is loose at the muffler area. I've crawled around and looked/grabbed stuff and nothing is loose.

It only does it on the first start up of the day. Any ideas? It's annoying but not that big of a deal.

2011 touring sport - 2300 miles, OEM exhaust system.
