If you are pushing more power, the car is bound to make more heat. The increase heat will destroy those cats. I have shown proof of it on many other cars in the other STS thread. If you do a search you will find many more that had destroyed their turbos or had bent blades because of the cats coming apart.

Not sure if that was from the older system or what but I've now have over 3500 miles on my kit and the turbo is still looking good. Trust me I'm not easy on it either. Not saying I'm boosting hardcore everywhere I go but it has a lot of miles on it with no problems. My only question would be maybe there was something already wrong with their cats before the system was installed. Something like that would be hard to say if it was the turbo and the extra heat that it causes could of been the reason for that but I'm sure had a hand in it.
