wtf now

Well its been about 2 months or so since i got my custom 2.25 inch stainless exhaust and now at around 4000rpm in any gear i hear some rattling **** coming from the front that sounds like it would be a heatshield. problem is i dont have any heatshields i think. what else could be rattling? could it be my cat?

You prolly made it worse..

Sometimes something breaks inside the cat and rattles.. but is the rattle that obvious and loud?
