I heard a very strange rattling sound when I tap the gas in neutral. During the rev after the peak and on the way down it sounds like empty soda cans rattling in a tin garbage can. I put it up on ramps and it seems to be coming from the middle resonator. Now i am planning to put in a whole new exaust system and remeber hearing resonators clatter when they go bad. So my question is do you think its the middle resonator and can i be driving or should i not be driving it? Runs perfect.

Do you think it needs to be replaced or is it possible its just not sitting well?

if it rattles its a sign that the inside ceramic is broken and done for life.

i install a custom exaust system or could i get away with leaving one or both out? (new york)
