I have an 09 G37 XS Sedan. The vehicle is stock except for the cats and a Stillen underdrive pulley. One of the stock cats had begun rattling so I replaced the stock catalytic converters with a set from Berks. Everything sounds fine when idling or driving normal, but there is a serious rasp when accelerating hard, especially in 1st and 2nd gear. It doesn't sound good, almost like a high pitched in can like rattle. I took it back to the exhaust shop and it was determined the sounds was coming from the area after the cats where the exhaust goes from 2 pipes to one. (joint of the Y pipe). I was told that the noise is excess air being bottled up at a choke point. Nothing was loose and no leaked were noticed. Has anyone else experienced this? Will getting better flowing pipes resolve this?
Thanks
