my car is running Dynatechs as well but my cats were fine. still didn't matter because we gutted them anyway. that alone makes me feel much, much better knowing that's one less thing that can go wrong down the line.

This is my plan as well maybe this weekend if I can get most of the gas driven out of the car this week.

checked both of my cats last night - they were in perfect condition even after 15 1/4 mile passes and 4K miles with the s/c. Jannetty got my tune spot on i guess

Im running a Maggie with 9lbs boost, LG LT's with the complete LG 3" exhaust including the LG 3" high flow cats. Im putting down 631rwhp and 588rwtq with no issues though I have yet to see anything on this thread about the LG HF cats failing.

I just spoke with John, the owner of 21st Century Muscle Cars and asked him about the cats failing issue. He told me they haven't had any failures come in a while but he did say that eventually the HF cats will fail on FI cars, some sooner than others, just depends on how the car is driven. He said a couple of years ago they had several come in with failures within months after being installed which were all made by the same company. Those cats were warrantied out and hadn't had any issues since.

He said when the cats start to fail, the car will run terrible and the check engine light will come on so if you continue to drive the car in that condition, engine damage is possible.

That is not true, I had no lights come on. The driveability of the car was not effected terribly by the cat failure. Sure noticed after they were corrected though.

Sorry for the wait guys, our Sales Rep is out on business but he will be working on a full fledged informative on everything catalyst related, basically a "Catalyst 101" class. To the guys waiting for our FI cats to come out, we are still working very hard on them and are trying different combinations of things to find the best possible combo to use.
