You really haven't supplied enough information, but the first thing I'd check is the heat shield on the cat(s). They tend to work loose and rattle at low rpm's.

Hey, I had some terrible sounds coming from under my car at low RPM's and it turned out the the filter element in my CAT broke loose causing grinding and thumping sounds at low speeds... just a possibility... usually it is the simple things...
bubba353z is right, could you supply a little more info
