Everyone,
Had a rattle coming from under engine. Used doctor scope to narrow the noise to driver side cat. Bought replaced cat from Rock Auto (Davico Brand)...economy one...The OEM cat is listed at 1400.00 compared with 250.00 from Rock Auto.
Installed no problem, rattle gone.
However, a deep rumbling noise comes when accelerating. Sounds like broken exhaust pipe, but there are no exhaust leaks, and pipe clamps are solid with plenty of overlap on the exhaust pipes.
Could it be just a cheap cat with higher flow rate?
Anyone else have this issue?
Any solutions, aside from saving for months to get the OEM cat?
