replaced the motor mounts, installed new exhaust gaskets, swaped the 130,000 mile factory cats with a pair of them that have only 20,000 on them. the car now has a sorta pinging noise to it under load.

does not ping when.. try to power brake, rev in park or neutral, on a lift running an in gear.

only does this when on ground under a load.

hope thatz better

much better.

have you done anything else to it? besides the motor mounts and exhaust? my first thought would be an exhaust leak since that's the most recent thing you've done but that's more of a ticking sound. are you able to post a video?

Exhaust leaks at the manifold usually don't make audible noise except under load, so it's likely that is your problem.

Loose manifold bolt(s), warped manifold sealing surface, blown manifold-to-cat gasket are likely causes.
