Disturbing noise!!
Got a nasty noise!! I hate metal noises...'00 SSei is making a pretty bad rattling noise when I start it until it warms up a bit then you can still hear it when you excellerate. It sound like it is coming from the exhaust but it doesn't necessaarily sound like it is a manifold issue. My first car had a similar noise and is was the lining of the muffler that came loose...is this a possibility here?? Thanks for any input!

No I do not burn premium?? Should I? It has approx 94,000 miles. Is there something I can do to clean it out to help diagnose the problem? Thanks for any help!

The chunks are most likely carbon deposits that can effect the performance of your cat and exhaust system.
I dont have any recomendation but to change the cat if your sure the rattling is coming from there.
Not sure if sea foam would clean a cat?
Running too rich or poor fuel can cause carbon build up, a good tune up including injector cleaner will help.
