i have a its a 89 gt and lately there has been a noise comming from under my car, sounds like something is grinding or rattling aroung. its a pretty loud noise and it doesnt speed up with the rpms at all. i really only hear it when the rpms get up over about 1500 but once the car has warmed up i can hear at idle. the car still drives just the same. the noise is definately comming from under the car in about the middle. i got under and listened and it sounds like its comming from one of the cats or atleast in that area, maybe the shifter? will the cats make a rattling sounds if they are goin bad? if not, anyone have any ideas of what it might be? thanks

Cats break apart internally and rattle. Try hitting the cats with something, you should hear it. Then again it could be a heat shield, but most likley the cats are comming apart.
