I had the same problem like joanna83 on my Uno, teribble rattling noise and the faster I was going the worse it got, I found out it was the cat heat shield, it fell off, so I put it back on with lots and lots of jubilee clips cost about £5 to do

Also could it be something inside the exhaust, or something up against it, I will have a look under my sei tonite, (u have got a sei haven't u) and try and see if there is anything up tight against it

There's always the heatshields attached to the car, check see if they are loose. Worst possible scenario is shattered cat internals.

On the other hand, reading it again it sounds like your rear engine/gearbox mount might be shot. This wil cause the exhaust to sit on the anti roll bar when you accelerate - I know as it happened to me and it sounds bloody awful! It doesn't actually cause the engine to fall out, but the mount 'drops'. 'Bout 12 quid for the bits.
