as soon as you put finger prints on it or spill something on it. usually after it gets hot a few times.

The best solution is to ditch the fart can. Have a nice muffler welded on by a shop instead. And stick with your plan to get a Magnaflow catalytic converter.

they're inside the resonator.

really hard to get to. but if they're bad they may have shifted to the inside of the catalytic converter (not good... gotta take care of that ASAP). You'll have to take your exhaust off and dump it out.
