    at about 1200-1900 RPM's it sounds like comething is rattling loose. I had
    my cat replaced about a month ago so I know thats good.
    No Codes.

    Any Ideas ?

  3. If you can get under the car(safely) I would take a small hammer and
    quickly tap all the bolts of the exhaust system. Listen for a 'thud'
    to indiciate a loose bolt, also check for missing exhaust mounts.

    My '95 sl2 did that for a long time, turned out to be the cat. Just because
    you had yours replaced recently doesn't mean that isn't the problem. Put it
    up on four solid jackstands and leave the garage door open for air. Slide
    around underneath on your creeper while its running and listen with a
    screwdriver in (close to) your ear. You may need to get someone to hold it
    at the rpm range where its the loudest.

    Obviously this is not the safest thing in the world to do, so all standard
    disclaimers apply YMMV

  5. I'd guess a worn engine mount.

    Is the world vibrating in your rearview mirror?

    Not hard to fix.

    Probably $100 for the part.
