Default annoying rattle

Well, the past few days I have had this annoying rattle when driving below 40ish. Seems to come from underneath the car......not sure where.
I thought it was the tranny, but the other day I had a buddy look under the car while I hit the gas ( neutral ), and he said it looks like the cat was vibrating.

I also have an emissions inspection in June. So I cant gut the cat.

Its a 93 Z28, so it only has 1 cat.

I guess buying a hi-flow Magnaflow works, right? What in/out pipe sizes do I need? Any other options?
Exhuast is stock except for a Magnaflow catback. Which has a rusty muffler.

HIGH FLOW CAT- Get a straight section of pipe, cut the Cat off and gut it, cut it inhalf, weld the shell to the straight section of pipe. Works everytime for visual
