ok i stopped at a friends house and left the car running...when i came back i heard a rattling sound from my car. so i checked my muffler and it wasnt that. when i looked under the car i noticed the little heatshield or piece of metal around the cat was rattling and hitting the cat. What causes this and how do i fix it so it wont rattle?

 

You'll probably have to jack up the car to get under there.

The cat-cover is touching your cat somewhere. If you don't want to keep it, just take it off. If you want to keep it, find where it is touching, take a prybar or similar tool and bend the cover away from the cat.

Pretty easy, non-confusing fix.

 

bend it like nobodies business until its out of the way

screw bending... just take ur exhaust off all together... who needs exhaust? haha, yeah everyones right, just bend the sucker till you dont hear any rattle anymore. BANG 'ER GOOD!

 

i had the same problem on my car and what i did was jam a peice of 1/8" wire bent in a u where the lowere sheild on the back of the cat meets the rest of the exaust sheilds
