Generally when your cat is rattling it's bad and needs replaced. Given Carsound's track record for premature failures I'd bet that's your problem.
You can easily pull you CEL codes too, all you need is a paperclip. I'm sure the instructions and CEL codes are on this site or Honda-Tech, they've been posted it seems like a million times.
Actually you might try C-Speed Racing's site. I think they've got the procedure up there as well.
