Default what to do... need serious advice

I posted about a metalic noise coming from under my vehicle when I rev in neutral to about 6000+ rpm… I finally figured out it was coming somewhere from my exhaust pipes. (I’m thinking the catalytic convertor). And my I recently posted about exhaust also makes weird misfire/backfire -puah…puah - noises. i guess i am really leaking from there.

Keep in mind I have a set of dc headers and an axel back. Now, should I get an aftermarket cat? Or just get a test pipe. What else is offered?

You can just get an OEM replacement cat if you want easy installation. Otherwise you can get a Toda cat or something, I think they have flanges.
