So I was wrong. It wasn't the catalytic converter...it was my front
wheel bearing that was making all the noise,
Where's the original post you made? ...ah, Message-ID
[email protected] ? Follow up when the topic remains the
same, rather than creating new threads, and it's much easier to follow
conversations. Or at least include some context, so it's easier to
figure out what happened previously.
Apparently, the Hyundai dealer claims that poor wheel bearings is a
major defect with Tiburons. Anyone else have this as an issue?
I went to newtiburon.com and grepped the last 2 months of their forums
for "bearing", only found 2 posts about wheel bearings:

(both links all on one line, natch.) If there were a real problem
affecting a lot of people, I'd expect more posts on that site about it,
but ICBW. Your original post said this was a 1999 Tiburon; maybe this
problem has been resolved/ameliorated in newer models and that's why I'm
not seeing anything relevant on that website.
Most of what I found was related to the clutch on newer V6 Tiburons,
which *does* seem to have a problem. Anyway, I haven't had any problems
so far, but then I've only got 2800 miles on my 2003 Tiburon.
