I'm going to have mine checked for sure.
Exhaust manufactures should be hearing this as most people are doing HF cats with exhaust upgrades and then SC's. If CATS aren't holding up, and most places require emissions test, then it only makes sense that cats are buiilt with better materials to hold up to the heat. Perhaps, real iron instead of melting inexpensive billet aluminum, eh?

No it can't bust your motor or smash valves into a piston. It could overheat a cylinder if it plugs up BUT the engine will run very poorly and you will know something is wrong....if you keep driving it that way then you get what you deserve for being stupid.
I think much of the issue is that many tuners run their FI tunes extremely RICH in order to keep the motor from detonating and therefore blowing up.....RICH......kills the cats. It isn't the cats fault...it's the tuners fault, imho.
