Default What are the signs of a bad cat?

Car runs fine. Already inspected the whole exhuast system for loose bolts or possible interference with undercarrage and found nothing wrong.

I hear a rattling noise around the driver side cat at cold start up for approx. 3 minutes and sometimes during de-celeration. Almost sounds like a marble in a tin can being tossed around. I've got Hooker LT with custom fab hooker Y-pipe with weld in Carsound cats.

Any ideas!

It sounds like your right about the cat .

You should get under the car & listen if thats where it is coming from.
Maybe beat on the cat & see if it makes a noise.
