My Engine is rattling!!!! Help

Pull up at work today and was waiting for a parking spot, people were walking by and looking at me in the car . I figured normal the G is sweet , then my co-worker walked out and said dude , sounds like you have a bearing loose of something. I got out and dang, it didn't sound good at all , how embarrassing. when I was driving it in it felt really good. I remember saying to myself the car feels very good today.

I live about 30-45 mins from the dealership, do I need to worry about driving it in I wouldn't want to damage it further.

Is your car a 6MT or 5AT?

If it sounds really bad I'd call roadside assistance & have them tow the car back to the dealership.

I noticed you have a Stillen intake. I was noticing a rattle/buzz coming from the engine bay when I first installed my intakes. Turns out it was the clamp that attaches the filter to the intake was in contact with part of the body of the car. It sounded horrible. You might want to check.

My buddy said it sounded like a loose bearing, I started the engine a little while ago and I don't hear anything now, I guess it might just happen after driving it. But something is definitely lose.

Mine does this too..usually for about 15-20 seconds after I start it. It also does it for split second right when i hit the gas from a dead stop.. its really weird. I took it to the dealer because It used to rattle around 3k rpms and they fixed it. They said I had piece of bent metal and it was hitting my exhaust. I suspect I am having the same type of problem again. Its quite annoying.
