well yesterday i am pulling my exhaust down to paint it so it wont rust. i get to the cat pipes and pull them down and here is what i see




and i thought well crap these didnt last very long, i had them on for about 1500-2000 miles, i think it was from a couple of runs that i made while running it pretty rich. these are the supposed high flow maggie cats (59599) and i thought they would be able to handle a bit more than this. anyway im deceidign weather or not to replcae them or gut them right now. i know i have some more tuning to do so ill probably gut them for now and replace when i get everything dialed in.

what a nice christmas present , santa killed my kittie's

 

Oh man, that sucks. I wonder how mine look now? You should send Magnaflow that pic!

 

im not saying it will happen to everyone just a heads up , i did send magnaflow a email . but im scared if i replace them with the same cats that this will happen again . im wondering if the ceramic cats woul dwork better for my set up.

 

Paging Grippy- How do your cats look I know they are off.

 

damn i was about to order some of those

 

Jesus what is all that stuff in there? I have two magnaflow highcats on my 4.3. I hope they dont look like that.

 

hmm, I not running anywhere near the engine you're running, but I've had a set on my truck for 2 years and they haven't given me any trouble.

 

I heard bad things about the prior version of Magnaflow's cats, supposedly this iteration was supposed to be better. These are the new ones, right?

 

yes they are the new ones, i still dont htink running it rich for a little should have had that effect.i know since im blown it will create higher egt's but c'mon .

 

yea i think magna should replace those for free under defect or something...
