Yup I would assume 2nd gens have them. If you need help figuring out what it could be just let me know and I might be able to help.
Hes a breif way i fixed mine for a few months...

This clamp under my drivers door was slightly loose and thats what was vibrating making the noise.

You can see it has the little hole were it grabs onto the raised bump on the heat sheild. I just slightly turned the clamp so it put the pressure back onto it and held it tight again. Im pretty sure it has slipped loose again cause I hear it.

And yea its embarrasing, if its loud inside I know it has to be loud outside.

yeah, thanks dude. I have added a few clamps on the tail pipe already due to much worse noise so i might need to look closer and see if can see anything like this.. I know gen2 do not have the tail pipe covered like that. Ours have shield directly above attached to whatever they could. Im thinking it is the heat shields attachted to the headers but still under investigation. but if ya wanna get together and help me find it, its cool bro. let me know

^I like the color. What are your plans for it?

She's going to be my daily driver at roughly 40+ mpg. Slapping on a turbo and running it in to the ground. It has a few rust spots that need taken care of but it will easily serve its purpose once I complete the maintenance on it. I've already done the brake master cyllinder/booster, put in some recaro seats, fixed the hood hinges, thermostat, hood latch, shift linkage rebuilt (PO had 4spd parts on it instead of 5spd that I didn't know about. Huge headache). Now I just have to do all the gaskets when I do the turbo, put in a parking brake, and then mostly just aesthetic stuff.

My neighbor drives one of these. It sounds awesome, and looks sweet.

You can't sell it! You're one of the closest fun X members to me! Without you, well, I'm simply in BFE for about 300mi before the next X owner (Joe in Winnemucca, hahaha). Oh man, gotta love Idaho.

Anyway, your VW looks awesome and what great mpgs, I'm jealous!
