Rattle
Hello mate, is the rattle there when its stationary, and givin a bit of rev? or is it only when driving?
There is a big horrid heat shield around the cat, it could be that coming adrift?
Get someone to rev it a little whilst aving a look underneath, The cat Kwik-fit sell new for £180, But you can find s/had units for £40.

could be a baffle in one of the boxes.
also worth checking heat sheilds.. get someone to rev it while you have a look underneath.. just dont go and do my favourite trick and grab hold of the hot exhaust!

Sounds like the rattle is from the exhaust down pipe, between the manifold and the cat. Its made up of to two pipes, one inside the other. Dont ask why ive no idea but iam sure somebody at Daihatsu knows....hopefully! You could try drilling the outside pipe and putting a spot of weld in the hole to join the outside pipe to the inside.
does it rattle all the time i
does it rattle all the time ie when it is cold or just when the engine is hot any smoke when you rev it
Could sound daft but it's not
Could sound daft but it's not the door hinge ?. Had an annoying rattle on mine and eventually traced it to that

Heat shield loose next to the cat. Check the exhaust rubber hangers are working and not broken/stretched.
Before you buy a cat check if the vehicle is legal without a cat. I recollect 1996 was about the time cats were obligatory but I think pre 1996 cars are legal without cat. [ask you MOT centre] Go to you local motor shop and view a suppliers catalogue. You will discover a Sporty complete exhaust system is availably without a cat!
