I think I'll drill a hole in the cat today and see what might be making the racket in there. I realize the core of the cat is a lightweight honeycomb, but there is something heavyweight rattling around in there. If I could just drill into it or wedge it tight somehow maybe I can stop the racket.
You're risking parts of the cat coming loose and making their way back into your engine. Its a low risk, but particles can get back in there.

Open it up and rip it out.
