Might still be the exhaust system - I had a similar situation and couldn't figure it out and took my car to Swedecar. He put it up on the lift, loosened all the exhaust pipe connections under the car and realigned everything for the best clearance everywhere. I was getting rattle ( sheetmetal sound) under load at launch and on right turns. While driving, the rattle seemed to be coming from the right front of the car but I couldn't pinpoint it.
I'd had a new muffler installed last July at a corner muffler shop where they didn't see many SAABs and the rattle showed up about a month ago. It doesn't appear to take much misalignment of the pipe sections to cause this. The engine lifts counterclockwise under load ( and apparently on right turns as well), lifting the exhaust system closer to the floor of the car. Anyway.... no more rattle. Good luck tracking it down.
