Metal flakes on REAR bumper

Does anyone else notice this ? Everytime i wash my car there are pieces of metal flake all over the back bumper , i'm pretty sure it's the CAT puking it's self but i just had the converter replaced 7K miles ago.

I can't believe it's anything else in the motor, it's never had anything smaller than a 2.99 stage 3 pulley on it , and i take that off when it gets hot out. No strange motor noises or anything like that. Thanks

Did they weld on your exhaust? I've brazed and soldered, never welded but maybe it's debris from the weld blowing out... little by little........ ?

If there was no welding involved then IDK

na sounds like its from the cat. ive had cats come apart and they do that. even if you have one come apart the peices can hang up in the muffler and come out randomly.

Thanks for the responses . The exhaust wasn't welded on . I'm pretty sure it's the CAT , i'm just hoping it doesn't plug on my way to the Lordstown event.
