I don't think they look that bad yet? I'd keep monitoring them like you have.

is any of the internal media loose? If not, they look ok.

Honestly they look fine pal.

The cat is beginning to telescope. Will fail eventually but prob not yet.

I'm rather disappointed in looks. I have the green cats and get faults even with a tune every 700-1000 miles. I've called looks who blame it on everything but the cats. The fault I get is bank 1/2 below threshold/efficiency.

That's why I just got the regular Kooks cats. Waste to spend the extra money on the "green" cats. They still require some codes to be turned off in the tune.

If you want some hardier cats, get some HJS Cats, or at least Vibrant GESI cats. HJS are expensive but high quality, longer lasting performance cats. Vibrant GESI cats are less expensive but furnace braised on the shells and internally welded to avoid telescoping.
