You shoudve binned the cat on a side note (-6bhp).

Get a genuine Vauxhall gasket - it's a compacted wire mesh rather than the hard ceramic gasket that motor factors tend to supply.

Not sure if it makes much of a difference, but I've always thought the wire version would seal better as it expands.

/\ like he said its a gasket between cat and down pipes, yes it will rattle if not it might be loose baffles in a silencer or the actual Cat
