Precats or something else?

Here's a video of the sound I'm hearing. All symptoms and whatnot point to precats but I want to be sure. Found out my flex pipe is damaged and leaking yesterday so I think I'll just wait it out for headers if you guys all agree its precats.

Sorry I know there's a million threads on this already but I hear mine as low as 1500 when I let off the throttle every single time.
