It's possible that your catalytic converter need to be replaced. The plates in there sometimes break loose and rattle. It's under the passenger side in a 98, but it might be different on yours.
I'm looking online for a new catalytic converter at some of the online shops. Every place I go says "not legal for sale in California". I know that this has to do with the CARB laws. The question is, Where can I get a catalytic converter?
Thanks.
