bassani X rattling cats

[miket]

My wife hit a rock in the road with my 98 cobra the other day, it landed on one of the catalytic converters and now it rattles, i assume whatever is inside broke loose. any fix to this without buying a new x-pipe?

Thanks

Mike do you have ceramic or the metal screen new style?

Hmm, not sure which I have, how would I tell? I looked for a Bassani part number on the pipe and didn't find one, I did see a number on the cat itself i believe it was 960003. I have had the cobra for about 2 years now and the pipe was on it when I purchased it.

I beleive you have the older style ceramic type, not the screen type.The reason I asked is it might be the shield around the cat thats rattling , and the old style has a shield around it, if so you could have it welded and hopefully take care of the problem

The cats came apart on my old '90 LX from one too many speedbumps. This was in '00 or so. They didn't last long, but it wasn't their fault I smacked them off of the pavement too much. I gutted them.
