RX7 FC3S - Problem: Rattling Under the shifter
I have a 1986 RX7 N/A and bout a month ago installed a stock cat converter so that it could "pass" smog. but just recently i started hearing kind of like rattling under the shifter where the cat goes. i dont know if the cat is blow or what but it gets annoying everytime i take off or stopping at a light because everyone looks at me.
i could really use the help here so that i can go buy a better one and new tips because the "one" that i have is really loud. yes i only have one exhaust pipe with tip and its very annoying to hear it over the engine.
also should i get a stright pipe instead of get the cat and what kind of tips should i get? i know there is racing beat but thats a little to expensive for me right now because graduation is comming up and i need to pay some fees.
so in all i really need help with the rattling and if i should get a new cat or stright pipe and what kind of tips

^This just happened to me, actually. The thin metal on the scrape shield (I guess that's what it's for, mine always scrapes speedbumps) had snapped and one side was flapping. I did the ghetto fix of wrapping some piano wire around the broken corner and the bolt head and it's good now.
