Is the CAT still intact? The matrix can break and rotate in the can causing back pressure and other fun.

A knock usually sounds loud and harsh, ball peen hammer on concrete .. Ping is lighter and more broad band across the RPM range. Excess back-pressure can create excess pressure in crankcase as well...
