-I recently put on a random tech cat and Greddy cat-back. Eventually, all was working well until I noticed that whenever I run over a puddle, I notice this loud, clanking vibration that sounds like it is coming from the front of my exhaust / the cat. The sound also gets much tinnier and basically sounds like crap. This happens immediately after I drive through a puddle, and takes about 2 min of driving before it is back to sounding normal. Again, it happens EVERY time I drive through a puddle. It hasn't really rained here in Cali for quite a while, so I'm dreading the first rain. Anyone have any ideas what this problem can be? Do I not know something about Hi-Flow cats? Thanks

This is normal and is called thermal shock.

When the exhaust is hot the metal expands, when it suddenly hit cold water it contracts rapidly and will need a minute or two to return to normal.

When it rain water hits it all the time and this will not happen unless it is slightly submerged in a puddle
