When I start my car the rattling starts, driving the sound get louder to the point of sounding like a truck. Could the problem be in my muffler line?

It could be a heat shield come loose. It sounds like it could also be your catalytic converter. You catalytic cinverter is kind of like a honey comb inside made up of a resin or ceramic material. When they go bad the break up and rattle inside the case and can even clog your exhaust. Have your gone through emissions testing lately?? Depending on the age of the vehicle though you can bypass your catalytic converter by making sure the car is hot when testing. Go under your car and give the heat shields a rattly and bang on the catalist with your fist.

sounds like th baffles in the exhaust it self have come adrift or maybe rust particles inside the exhaust get under the car and hit the muffler with the base of your hand ( make sure its cold first ) this should pinpoint it

there could be something loose in the frame. If it is from underneath there is obviously something loose down there. Put the car on Jacks and start touching everything and find out what is loose.

its probably the cover for your exaust. its not nessasery and you will pass an MOT with it off. but it does protect your exaust i know this from when my car made the exact same noise

Could be your catalytic converter is burned out.
