Blown head gasket. Common on the 2.5 Especially 02-04.
While the motor is out id replace both the crank sensor on the back of the motor. There a ticking time bomb and will leave you stranded at the worst time. Atleast if your not going to replace it make sure there is no oil in the connector. If there is replace it, because if it isnt causing a problem now it will soon.
Inspect the Cat prior to installing the stock header. that rattle could be the cat falling apart, but there is also a bracket that secures the cat to the block that rattles itself loose.
