Uh oh! First thing to raise concern in my EJ8! (Exhaust?!)
Today, I noticed a vibrating, or buzzing sound, which sounded like it was comming from directly under where my shiter, or cuphoders are.
Im thinking it could be my cat? Or perhaps it could be a hole in my exhaust? :-\ Any suggestions, or thoughts would be much appreciated.
I was going to travel tomorrow, but id rather not go until im sure my car is okay. (Travel anxietys make little problems seem HUGE!)

my guess, is the cat cover. A crack wont vib. itll just sound like a leak.
Just take the cat cover off and see if it goes away!

Yeah, a hole/crack would sound like a sort of knocking sound rather than a rattle. It's definitely the heat shield by the cat, if you are really worried about it tighten it up and be done or just leave it. It won't hurt anything to let it rattle.
