Cat
When my truck idles i can hear a rattle, i went underneath and it is coming from the cat, the sound sounds like there are a few bolts in there loose. Does this mean my cat is on it way out??? When i got under there i tapped it with a baseball bad, well kinda hit it, and it sounded like the rattling stopped for a while. Also what is the dimension coming off the y-pipe to the inlet to the cat, and i have stock exhaust and was gonna put a flowmaster 40 on it and was wondering if i should get a bigger internediate pipe, between the cat and muffler??? Oh ya and the muffler is gonna be what ever size the intermediate pipe i get for the inlet and dual 2.25 for outlets. Also, what is a good hi-flow cat, magnaflow???
Thanks

yep youe cat it shot common thind with the stock ones. see if your cat is part of the recal call your local dearler and ask thell ask for your VIN number if the dealer says he knows nouthing call anouther dealer and dont go back to the first one some of them from what ive been hearing are saying they dont knw anything about it (total BS) there is a sticky thred at the top of the page about the cats u might wanna check out

Mine does the exact same sounds. I can hear it rattling around when I'm at a drive-thru. Baseball bat eh.

RE: Cat
Thats okay, i do not care about the warranty, i want a hi-flow cat anyways, i think i am just gonna do my whole exhaust system soon anyways. I think i am gonna go with the magnaflow y-pipe and cat because i do not have a welder and i think its like $120 or something, so i figure that is probably cheaper than buying a cat and getting it welded up.
