Where is it blowing? Does he mean the downpipe gasket?

/\ 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

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.
