Default Re: Melted my Cat!

Hi SpeeDemon,

Something doesn't sound right. Cat's need to get pretty hit before they melt and fuse the matix inside, and this is usually something is more likely to happen to a turbo car than N/A.

Two things come to mind..
1. Are you running any kind of heat wrap tape on the extractors? This will keep the heat in the exhaust gas and can lead to Cat's dying, however you would have to be flogging your car pretty hard for quite a while for this to happen.

2. Do you run any kind of octane booster in your fuel? I have heard that these can lead to cat's dying, as they generate much higher exhaust gas temperatures.

Cheers
