What model Magnaflow cat did he install?

"Clinking" typically is a noise you get when a catalyst brick rattles in the converter.

The spun metals never give this type of noise due to how they are constructed.

Not sure what you mean by "drilling" through the precats?

Did he like "rota-rooter" them ???

Possibly something left in the precat-exhaust pipe ???
