Default rattling noise?

Could this have been my high flow cat going bad? I had rattling coming from under my car and then it disappeared all of sudden.

And now VTEC feels like its struggling up top for power.

Could it be clogged?

Does it happen whle turning or while in idle ? Check to see the the exhaust is supported by all hangers. Also check for rust in the exhaust system.

It was happening at idle.

The exhaust system is fine because I had it checked by a local exhaust shop.

I did notice the other day more white smoke coming from exhaust than usual. It only did it that one time.

Im guessing a bad or clogged cat.

What do you guys think?

i had a rattling noise from underneath my car for a while, and the exhaust LOOKED fine, but I think it was something wrong w/my cat. After taht i just replaced the whole exhaust system and no more rattling, just a giant fart

sounds like its coming from the engine on the drivers side.
