This actually sounds like you put rocks in a soda can and then you are shaking the soda can


The exhaust on the 2003 and 04 really can make several odd vibrations and pops and creaking noises but if you are hitting the cats while they are cold and the have a rattle they sound like they are going bad then.


Could the smoke from the brakes be brake dust?
Not sure but it sounds like ceramic pads and shoes are wearing out and dusting. Since you said this only happens at high speed braking and it is not from the tail pipe.
