Default We don't need no stinking cats!

My old cats had disintegrated, spitting broken teeth out of the muffler here and there-->

...sounding like she had the death rattles around 1800 rpm... The solution was these "high flow" cats Other pics of the exhaust follow... Poor car needs some attention, but it keeps raining around here.

Could be a heatshield in your case... Depends on the explanation of the vibration

Sounds like he thinks you will now get a check engine light because you have no cats.
