The link is just pics and if you think its a clogged cat it would be easier to check that first by pulling off the y-pipe and if it was the engine it should sound obvious if that helps

Hard to tell from that video But check the pulse of the exhaust at the muffler and see how weak it is

Update

So yah , my mechanic said that due to the catlytic converter i think it was the root casue of why my engine is now knocking or due to worn out tensioners, either way this sucks. so now i have to do an engine swap.
