Are the cats the only mod you have done to your car? I don't think gaskets are the problem. Exhaust gasket leaks make a ticking sound that you would be able to hear the entire time the engine is running, not just at a certain rpm. Have you checked to make sure all of your bolts are tight enough?

I have a Stillen Exhaust & G3 Intake also.
Yes I have checked my bolts. I will check again on Tuesday

Is the rattle sound like its metal hitting against metal? The earlier version Stillen exhausts had some clearance problems with one of the factory chassis braces.

No it doesn't. I think Stillen has fixed their exhaust as well so they don't have that problem anymore either. Just depends on when you ordered yours.

On a semi-related note, can anyone tell me if the 350 and 370 use the same cats? I have a pair of test pipes from my 350 that I'd love to bolt up, but I wasn't sure if the dimensions were the same.

In light of this new information, I think a full exhaust is a given. I got to see the underside of my car the other day and nearly sagged my knickers when I saw how tiny our piping was.
