I highly doubt it's your exhaust. Unless the exhaust was installed incorrectly and something was bent like an exhaust hanger where it cause rubbing and vibration on the body or another piece.
and what's exhaust kickback? like back firing? I don't think a less restrictive exhaust would matter, regardless of pipe diameter.
the thing that makes me think it's your belt is you say when you take the belt off it goes away. If you read through this thread there are multiple occasions on being stated there is a rattle or vibration from the belt being too loose.
Also, you took the belt off and your exhaust is still on. if it was your exhaust you still would've had the noise regardless with belt on or of. in my honest opinion, I don't think your toyota tech is correct.
I'd say put the belt back tighten to half a belt twist or keep tightening it to where you don't hear a rattle. good luck
