If your cats are rattling when cold, you are building up back pressure and they should be replaced with some new, after market ones that would run you around $70 a piece plus welding.

What gas are you using, when was it last tuned with wires, what air pressure in your tires?

I can hold 65 in the foothills, the problem is when I get up to Eisenhauer pass or Vail pass. I am using premium gas and tire pressure is whatever factory specs are, 28 front 45 rear as I remember.
