A day after I got back from the track last year my Cat Developed the same
problem. They get loose in these, and it sounds like pebbles rattling around.
I also have the catback installed, but since I bought it from Mopar
Performance (so it has a Chrysler Part Number) They had to cover it under
warranty. Even though you have the same exhaust I do, because you might not
have bought it from Mopar they may give you trouble. Be sure to point out
they are the same system.
Good luck
