well so i recently got a new eg8 and it had this terrible exhaust rattle so i thought it would be the heat sheild because when i taped on it with the handle of my screw driver it would make the noise.So i went under the car remove the heat sheild which is between the cars body and the cat. only had 2 bolts left holding it in , so i took it off. started up the car, still rattled but kinda less not that big of a diffrance. So i thouhgt i should take off the heatsheild located on the cat, so 5 mins latter and a lil prying i got it off, started up, still rattled. i went underneath the car hit the cat with the screwdriver and guess what it was cat that was rattling all along. so i thouhgt my cat was probably cloged/ dead. problem here is should i replace is now also the previous owner who had a catback on it cut off the flanges and welded it on. the piping is brand new from the cat back would i have to cut it, weld a flange on both sides then install a new cat ?
