well i had a rattle sound come from the bottom of my car too. i found out it was my cat. take it to an exhaust place and have them check it out. but oem cats are $$$!

you could try to put an aftermarket cat on, but you are going to get a "check engine" light. i heard that there is a way around this. dont know though. if you dont change it soon, you continue to get bad gas mileage, and get lower HP. if you are in the LA area, better yet the San Fernando Valley, PM me and you can go to my friends exhaust shop. I would suggest that you buy the cat first then get it installed. this will save you $$$.

its usually the heat shield on the cat that causes the sound. i ripped mine off yesterday and that fixed the majority of the sound however there is still something else ratlling slightly. i cant figure it out.

best known exhaust shop in the San Fernando Valley is Super Tuning. He does excellent job installing/fixing and gives out cheap price.
