Default RE: replacing stock cat


ORIGINAL: Froznface

Chances are that the rattling sound is the heat shield on the cat rubbing on the cat itself. My stock cat had that problem because one of the corners of the shield had rusted through near the bolt that holds the shield on. So, I yanked the sheild off and guess what...no ugly noise. As for the $3K for a cat...faqu is what you need to tell that shop...even if they are charging $300 its still overpriced!
I took a look myself and the heatshield is definitely intact. It's difficult to tell if the rattling is coming from the cat or from somewhere closer to the engine.
