Default Draxas exhaust midpipe replacement?

I now get this rattle sound from my draxas exhaust. I am guessing that the midpipes double metal wall is cracked inside and some weld is rattling around. Anyway - Can someone give me some direction on what to do?

Currently i have the draxas catback with an extra resonator on (so i have my car, the stock 18inch resonator, and a 12inch secondary resonator). Do any of the midpipes out now match up with the draxas spipe and exhaust?

I am wondering if I should go to a muffler shop and get a new midpipe made and buy a few resonators and a cat ....or should i reuse my cat ......

...direction please. thanks.

Yea I thought that at first and looked at it ...then had a shop look at it when I went for my oil change. I had the draxas since the second generation ones started to come off the line (which means i have had it for a few years now) ....and no rattle. Im almost 100% sure its something inside. We also hit the pipe when the car was on the lift and you can hear a few things.

My questions center around if you could reuse the cat or get a new one. I dont know much about the cat that came on the draxas setup. I heard that the 18inch resonator was just "ok" ... "nothing special" .... Im not looking to save $$ if I can make a better mid pipe that was nicer then the original. The sound is bothering me because my car looks nice but once people hear that RATTTTTTLEEEEEEE sound it kills the whole mental picture.

Your better off just getting a new high flow cat. Technology has improved since a few years ago in cat design and flow.
