Default EZGO 2017 Cart noise

Was driving down a trail the other day and since then I noticed a clear mechanical noise. I thought at first a stick or something got up into the air in take area but I pulled the cover off looked all around the vent there...manually turned it a little either way didn't seem to rub anything. I took a video...excuse the fact it was wet cause well it was raining but you can hear the noise. I can't tell if its coming from that area of the air vent though.
Any thoughts on this?
I do not hear it in idle or neutral...I only hear it when I'm moving but it isn't almost always to the point you can make it out sometimes louder than others.

I can't post the **** link for 7 days of being a new account unless I guess someone can over ride that... I assume I can DM if a mod or someone can let me give it to them to post for me pls.

Yeah good idea just didn't want to break rules
https ://drive. google DOT com/file

/d/1u1GR2v49PZh3ZbjkQ5qpMrWcrfDFO08f/view?usp=drive_link

just remove the spaces and the DOT

Edit: just to add I pulled the cover off the air wheel there...nothing in it moves a little back and forth with no play/slop around the shaft so I don't think it is coming from that. I can almost lean more towards that generator/alternator on top as maybe burned a bearing up and since it only does it when moving under a load of sorts vs it won't on neutral.

Best way to get the fan off when you turn the bolt it turns the whole shaft and clutch? I'm wondering if there is something up inside of it like a stick I can't see.

Got another video hope it helps.

So had someone drive the sucker while I sat on the back foot rest and leaned over under to listen...sounds like the muffler is the issue. It isn't loose but if I smack on the bottom upwards hard enough I hear the rattle inside. Anyone have any experience in these going back in the matter of 6 years? Appears easy to replace/swap.

I think account is a week old now, I'll repost link to make it easier.
Hoping to get some kinda feed back..I'm fine with buying another muffler $300 a pop I think unless someone knows cheaper good sources for parts cause it is driving em insane.

Lol well I love talking to myself but apparently all that and I've found the issue which is so darn stupid but makes sense.
one bracket broke on the muffler and that to me is the issue. Will weld that back tomorrow and put it back on.

Got a photo attached of it...Seems the two major issues I've ever had with it have been the exhaust. Few years ago the pipe from the engine over to the muffler broke at the flange and had to weld those back.

and....repaired. I hope it holds. I'm not the greatest welder in the world. Put a bead on back and a strong bead right up the inside of the bend.

Doesn’t have to be pretty to work.. Paint that with some high heat paint before you put it back on.
