More likely you have picked up some road gravel or a rock large enough to rattle. Visually inspect the Catalytic Converter to see if there is a rock bouncing around in it. If not then a replacement would be necessary since there would be nothing to tighten up.
A bad catalytic converter can cause your vehicle to run rough and even seem to stall and hesitate around 40 to 50 miles per hour, this will feel like a ignition problem, the simplest way I found to check a cat is with a cheap infrared or temperature probe, check Amazon or Ebay, they are inexpensive enough, you don't need great accuracy , nothing expensive. The tempeture of the cat after the engine is hot will be approximately 30-40 degrees hotter onthe output of the catalytic converter than the input, also the exhaust will have an odor of rotten eggs.
I hadnt heard of a universal catalytic converter being illegal to install besides they do sell them. Check with autozone i have bought many from them tell them you want a universal catalytic converter for your vehicle the price may surprise you it should be alot cheaper than what you just quoted.
all oxygen sensors are located on the exhaust pipes. depending on the specific configuration, there can be 2- 4 sensors. always will be a set before the catalytic converter and a set after the cat. converter.
Hi there...there is no oxygen sensor(s) after the catalytic converter..all of them are foward of it..some of the vehicles only have 2 oxygen sensors and others have 4 oxygen sensors..but they are all foward of the catalytic converter..i hope this has helped you
