Default Pretty Much the funniest thing I've seen from my car... Catalytic Probs

My car was making this wierd rattling noise coming off throttle and at idle. sounded really bad, like a heat shield or maybe even something internally wrong.

2 opinions from other jetters was that the cat might be falling apart inside, so we set to take it off and have a look.

This is what we found:



That's right, a little tiny nugget of the cat material left. Just a nearly perfect round ball rattling around in there.

I cracked it in half and it fell out. Easiest cat gutting I've ever seen.
