I have had an annoying rattle coming from the area of my passenger side catalytic converter(been going on for about 3 years). Upon constant inspection and trial and error, we are pretty confident its the catalytic converter. Definitely not a heat shield.....possitive.

On top of that, the "quiet" muffler that I had replaced the powervault muffler with, is finally going rattley noisey on me after 3 years. This is probably due the the fact that the muffler was just a cheapy needed to quiet the ride before my Son was born.

So.....My questions.

There are several aftermarket catalytic converters out there. Has anyone had any luck (bad or good) with any of them?

Second...
I need to get a quality muffler, probably stainless steal, that will last and will be quiet. My goal is noise level. I like the roar, but my family situation means I have to be quieter. So anything over quiet is a bonus. (performance, etc). Any thoughts on a good one to go with?

I am getting everything installed by Performance Offroad in Kentucky. The shop is awesome and my minor exhaust work is nothing compared to all the cool projects they have going on. I am just glad I found an excuse to go to that shop.
