Default BAD Cats??
Has anyone ever had a set of CATs go bad?
I have a 2002 M6, and the CATs rattle? I know they should not rattle.

The car only has 26k miles....

Wait, how do they rattle? Mine seem to chirp between rpms of about 1300-1600.

There is a TSB about a key chain type rattle or jingle. It calls for a replacement piece in the center section between the cats and mufflers.

TSB? Please explain. You're saying we may have a common problem?

Meaning? In the exhaust system or in the heat shield area?

As I took it in to the dealer and they tightened the heat shield but I still hear things....(maybe it's just in my head...but)
