Default strange noise from my header to cat connection, please help

ever since i put my header on, there has always been this little strange noise at the cat, its annoying as hell. i think there was a little leak or someting cause the header didnt connect exactly perfectly. i just sealed up the leak and that kinda helped, but today i was driving down and i had to slam on my brakes and i skidded cause some lady cut me off

so now when i rev the engin it makes such a bad wierd noise. its hard to describe. do you think i should just replace the cat? any help would be appreciated.

what did you "seal" it with? Did you put a lead gasket over the tip of the header?

Yeah, my car is doing the same. My header went in about 2weeks ago, but Im pretty sure my heat sheild has come loose. YOU SHOULD CHECK YOURS, before you go off spending big bucks on other things..
