I still get a funny feeling about the cats. You mention you think the sound was coming from under the car, which is where my noise is currently coming from. It’s my cats without a doubt. A while back the guy doing my fence, his son bought an RX8 and the cat ended up falling apart and plugging up, causing internal engine damage. The car was running great, then started to get sluggish on acceleration. Then kaput, it was dead.
this is all speculation, but if the rattle was coming from underneath, then got worse and hindered performance there is a chance your cats are just plugged up.
tap your cats with a screwdriver or hammer. Does it sound like it’s full of nails?

I recorded this video months ago, but was just wondering if this is what the rattle sounds like. Maybe I’ll update later with a new video, cause my rattle is a lot louder these days. I need to do something about it soon

Im literally at the shop getting this looked at as I type this. This was what I was hearing last night. Their trying to tell me they don’t hear them making any noises but just have a listen. It’s obvious.

Don’t have to warn me... cars already at the shop getting worked on.
Currently we’re cutting the secondary’s out, welding a collector behind them and going to the custom X pipe I had made for me. Hopefully I’ll have the car back in a couple hours and can let you know whether this worked for me or not
