For those with good ears

Hey. Well, I've been complaining about a buzzing in my exhaust. It's not the resonator (I have the KC exhaust system), and it's definately coming from the catalytic converter area. It's not the heat shield on the main cat because I've had that off for about 5 months now. So, I have a sound clip of the buzz. If somebody could tell me if this sounds like a bad cat, I'd like that. For a little background, the buzz doesn't seem too be around when the car is revved up in neutral or park. When put under a load, it buzzes. Especially noticeable when starting from a stop on an uphill slope, or when the car shifts into second gear quickly, and accelerates from very low RPM in second. Thanks in advance.

P.S. The rattle is most obvious (to me anyway) the last 2 times I rev the engine. Unfortunately, the laptop gets lots of the engine noise to confuse everything.
