This is a common problem seen with hp levels starting about 600. So if your there, you might as well gut the cats and avoid any issues...

It's a known problem in the Mustang community that the KOOKS high flow cats are crap.
There have been a couple people lost their motors because of them. |

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.

So, all these supercharged cars like the ZL1 and GT500 both putting out great power, should there be many problems with te stock cars for future customers? I would assume so, because there running stock cats and not even high flows.

Nope...at one time we thought it might the cause of a bug we were chasing but it wasn't....they were fine but we decided to gut em anyways.....I have no emissions or sniffer in SC so why not.
