Out of curiosity, if it is the cats, what options do I have? I'm looking to keep it more budget friendly if at all possible. Also, if it sounds better, I wouldn't complain... those two may be mutually exclusive though

Alright. You don't happen to know if there is any budget way to both replace the cats and make it sound better?

I did an oil change (switched to a thicker one- high mileage synthetic blend 10w40 hoping that would help), and it did not seem to help.

I'm starting to wonder if there's 2 sounds. 1 being an exhaust leak, and 1 being the higher pitched more rapid ticking. I really wish these would just go away lol.

There's a YouTube channel that does a lot of exhaust videos, and I happen to live not all too far away from them. I may run over there sometime and see what they have to say about this whole thing.
