When I had rattles (on a Senator) of that type it was the cat and the Vx dealer stated at the time that if I left it too long the baffles could break away and block the exhaust system causing pressure build up in the engine which would not be good :'(.

I took his word for it at the time (being flush with money at the time) and have always wondered if that was really true ever since! :-/ :-/ :y
