Hello all,
I am pretty new to posting here, and I was hoping that someone could help me a bit. I recently installed a new axle back exhaust(the Mazdaspeed) and it works great. No issues with that unit, and the install went relatively smoothly. However, since I did the install, I have been hearing what could be described a flutter or a tick coming from the catalytic converter. It is not constant and only seems to resonate at certain RPMS(like when it sits at 3k on the interstate, unfortunately). A buddy of mine thinks that when it was getting moved around to do the Mazdaspeed install, a piece of the heat shield on the inside of the Cat came free and is moving around inside of it.
I have checked for exhaust leaks, and there are none. This sound is coming from INSIDE the catalytic converter. Any help would be appreciated.
