Metallic Sound From Exhaust.

I think that my catalytic converter is gone. There is no cell, power and performance is very good. However, I am able to hear a metallic sound (specific revs) from exhaust when the car is warm. So either some heat shield has been detached or my catalytic converter has been broken and I am able to hear the pieces across the exhaust.

What do you think?

Do exclude the possibility that the catalytic converter has been broken?

No, it happens! Good thing even if your car is out of base warranty the cat has an 8/80,000 mile warranty.

This thread is probably dead, but I have a 2004 and it's doing the same thing after it warms up. Did you find what the problem was? It's driving me crazy!
