    3.0T Cat failure - Preventative Solution?

    Hi All - I'm sure this has been done to death.. but having just gone MRC stage 2 I'm wondering how long the stock ceramic cats will last before the increased boost/heat will destroy them / possibly block them / cause potential engine damage. Most seem to say either:- 1. Gut the stock cats...
