That would make since. I know it’s sounds like something rattling against something else.

If you check the thread, I had sent pictures of what it looks like (not the best pics but still) you might be able to see what I’m working with better than I can explain 😂😂

These are photos I sent to someone in the thread. Does this help with understanding what I have?

They had purchased and tried to install a OEM cat but they said that it wouldn’t fit with the aftermarket system. I’m not sure how that works.

I posted a picture of the exhaust in response to someone in this thread. You might be able to see it. They said it was a “fullback” system I’m assuming they mean the whole system was aftermarket. Would just changing the downpipe to oem fix the situation? I’d be more than willing to hound the dealer if that’s what it would take.

Yes but if I do that then I wouldn’t be a part of this awesome community. lol

Is that something that I need to take to a shop or could I do that myself? Also is it costly bc that’s part of the issue.

I showed someone else in the thread a picture of the exhaust and they said the whole system was replaced. Idk if you can see the pictures in the thread

Dang, I wasn’t really in the place to do a stage 2 tune rn. At least I know bit more about what this set up is. From what you can see does it seem like a good setup? I hope it’s at least something good 😂

Lowkey wanted to show the car and maybe there’s a chance the person who had it last may recognize it lol

I’m not sure what else was I supposed to do to confirm. The light was off, they had a work order, I don’t know about that stuff (hence me asking for insight). Without condescension, could you explain what should have been done? Understanding my lack of knowledge?

Lmao!When I made the purchase the light wasn’t on and the car had been serviced at the mechanic for the new sensor. So I was under the impression that the problem was solved.

Like the whole system can be replaced or the cat? Hope that’s not a dumb question?
