Can someone point me in the right direction here. I want to replace my whole exhaust system all the way from the top which it has the catalytic converter. I believe the converter is bad even though i don't have a check engine light. The smog smell really bad, and very toxic i mean i know they are but compared to other cars mine is too much. I have seen lots of aftermarket parts and would like to know if you guys used them and which one has good fitments. I read some of them don't fit correctly. I don't what to go OEM because it's about $1500 plus tax just for the catalytic converter. In addition im sure most of my heat shields are loud i know this cars are known for that. I have tight them down but i can still hear rattling noises. Any help will be appreciated

Believe it or not other than the heat shield, the ball bearings inside the axel rubber boot can cause that click specially if it's only while moving. It could be that boot and grease went bad. I know it sounds crazy but is 100% legit. Check it out

Exhaust heat shields. If your Subaru doesn't eventually get this problem, then it's not a Subaru.

 

To fix mine I bought a custom length hose clamp kit off amazon that comes with enough pieces to make 10 custom length clamps. I went crazy and clamped the **** out of the shields. I think I put 8 or 9 of them on.

So I replace the following on my 2010 Legacy 2.5

1.Lower control arms straight from Subaru, it comes with lower ball joints

2.Away bar links

3. Sway bar rubber bushings

4. Front and rear struts (KYB)

5. Strut mounts

Before the install my car was ride terrible but the biggest issue i was having was a rattling metallic noise every time I went over rough terrain, you could really hear it, very annoying, reason why I decided to replace all parts i mentioned above.

Now, the car rides better definitely, however, i can still hear that noise, not as loud as before but i know is there. What can possibly be the issue here? Can it be motor mounts or what. The router tide rods were replaced about a year ago i doubt is that. I really need help finding this problem i can't sleep. When I press on the gas pedal you can also hear a metallic rattling noise, I'm not sure if they are related . Any help will be greatly appreciated guys i know there is a lot of knowledge here. Thanks a lot for reading.
