Help me find a good sounding catalytic converter?

Hey all!

06 4.0L manual xrunner here...

Im getting that notorious cat rattle on the drivers side and think its about time to replace it as im starting to feel robbed on power.

Truck already has a gates catback which sounds great as is.

Anyway wondering what the good options are for aftermarket cats? Wouldnt mind a high flow set but i want them to be drop in if possible over weld in, and obviously to sound good without getting too noisy!

Or is ot best to just find stock replacements?

Thank you!

 

Or mayyybe it is the external heat shield on the actual cat that is rattling? Found a possible wire tie fix lol. Mqybe ill give that a try; all i know is there doesnt seem to be any other rattling heat shield.

 

years ago I had a rattle that seemed to show up at just certain RPMs ... turned out that one of the weld spot on the heat shield had "popped" loose, and a local shop just spot welded it back into place and that fixed the problem ... hopefully yours will be that simple

cat converters are expensive ...

 

yeah thats kinda what i'm thinking it is... not sure yet.

still eventually may need to swap cats. if so, does anyone have a good source?

thanks!

 

I've dealt with the "Performance Peddler" before for a cat converter for a different truck

http://performancepeddlerwholesale.com/

they sell on ebay as performancepeddler as well

(That's not me BTW- LOL)

 

turns out one of the clamps on the drivers side cat broke and was moving around on the pipe... replaced that and i was good to go! exhaust sounds mint now. Banks catback is key!

thanks
