huh?... thers a pre-cat in the stock down pipe wich is the pipe that bolts to the headers.. that pre-cat i doubt is making the noise... after that the cat that you hallowed out, the big one, theres another baffle there or "resonator" on my car that was making a weird rattle sound but i have illeminated that altogether and it sound is im sure like what your looking for and no more rattle...

As this is in the N/A section, I'm betting he has an N/A.

More than likely it's rasp, and it's typical on N/A cars with free flowing exhaust.

Get a cat, get a resonator, and get a better muffler if it bothers you...

Agreed, N/A's are much louder and have a lot more oscillation in the exhaust. A cat, a resonator and a good muffler are the way to go if you want the Honda style popping gone.

Good hi-flow cat, a resonator or glass pack just before the rear end, and a decent muffler out back will do wonders :)
