I was driving back from class today and all of a sudden my mustang starts sounding like an old farm truck, you know that puttering tin can sound. I just got a catback, new intake, see sig. My first thought was that some of the catback had came loose so i checked all the bolts and they were fine, then i checked the intake, it was tight as well. I then got my friend to give it gas as i lay on the grown beside it and it sounds to me like the noise is coming from either the factory h pipe or the headers. It idles fine and doesnt seem like it lost power so i hope its not the engine. Any ideas as to what could be wrong? I cant take it to a shop till monday so im leaving it parked this weekend to avoid damage/more damage. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
B

Could definitly be something in your cats, they may have been eaten away on the inside and a piece of the ceramic honeycomb came loose and is rattling away.

just my .02

Like SPKMustang said...have the cats checked. That would be my first choice since you claim this started after you did your exhaust.
