  • Cat rattling-sounds like something is vibrating inside!

    I think my cat is dead, and not my pet. I suspect that the guts of it have fallen out of place and are now vibrating inside. It makes for a horrible noise! Is that a sign of a bad catalytic coverter? It rattles at idle and I've knocked it around to see if its loose but it sounds as if something is loose inside it.

    Sounds like the catalyst is lose. Solution: get a new cat. I knocked mine lose bottoming out on a speed bump. Ouch! I was headed to Pepboys to have a flat fixed. The space saver tire made the front end just a little too low. Now I have a high flow cat. The one I smashed was the original one.

      Now you can (probably) get a high flow cat. [img]smile.gif[/img]

        Ok so what Catco model # is it and where is the cheapest place to buy one? I guess I want a 3in and 3out. I guess I will also install a resinator between the S pipe and converter since I'm be cutting into my SS takeoff.
