Sounds like the mesh busted and is rattling around somehow?

Are your heat shields okay? Sure it's not your muffler or an exhaust hanger rattling on your tips?

nah the exhaust is solid i tryed shaking the exhaust to see if it was a hanger because that was 1st thought. My exhaust is on there solid rarely moves. I bought it used a while back and the heatshield were a little bit damaged because of speed bumps and i have scraped them myself going over speed bumps but i havent gone over any speed bumps in over 3 months now.. and it just happened all of the sudden. I think your right about the mesh in the cat i think its lose and thats what is rattling... does anyone know where i can get some cheap high flow cats for maybe $50 shipped and does anyone know how much a muffler shop would ask for the install/welding. Its definantly not the mufler the noise is coming right from the driver side cat
