well dang... reckon i better check mine now. the truck is catless and i don't smell it at all & i've only had others mention it when i've gunned it in front of them. might be worth cutting out if they're blocked in the car, even at mid 5xx.

even the good after market cats seem to have some issues on blower/turbo and even some RPM screemers
I had some random stainless steel high flow cats on my C4 ZR-1 and after a couple of years the centers were blown out.
I have a suspicion that the OEM stuff while a bit more restrictive would hold up better.
if you get caught without cats on the street, you can face some pretty heavy duty fines depending on the state.
I like the v-band solution, that allows you to swap them out and also inspect them easily and more frequently
good idea!
