Similar problem here Tony but I have yet to isolate it. I will replace the header/cat unit if that is where the problem is. Friend had similar noise and it was the INTERIOR of the cat that was crumbled and rattling around. Now that my part of the globe is beginning to warm up a bit, I hope to be able to get under the car and start tapping around with a rubber hammer and see if I can get the thing to make the noise. If it is just the shields, I think you can tighten them down and stop the noise. Keep me posted on your findings.
