Dynatech high flow cat failure be aware!

[justablur91]

So getting my car ready after TVS swap to bring to Bill at Pro Edge tuning next weekend he highly suggested removing my high flow cats as they will not handle the heat/boost and are prone to failure, so i removed my cats tonight and to my surprise passenger side starting to fail. This was just from a upper pulley and cold air at 13lbs of boost 550hp. Anyone with Dynatech cats please be aware and check them thank god i caught it now before the higher boost ill be running with my tvs.

Wow! Were you experiencing any drivability issues with the car prior to finding the cats in this condition?

I had the same problem with my Kooks high flow cats. I ditched mine because i was told they would fail eventually. They were already starting to fail when I took them off also.

Good thing you caught it when you did.

Who's tune were you running?

The car had no driveablilty issues at all scary to think i was driving around like that. The tune was VMP but i dont think the tune contributed to the cat failure i just think the cats are poor quality

Damn that's bad, usually just see mushrooming not complete deterioration

I know nothing about your VMP tune, but the Ford ProCal tune has Adaptive Cat Protection that sprays additional fuel when WOT to cool the cats and thus prevent failure.

My cat protection was on in my tune

There are a lot of threads about high boost and cat failure. Been all different brand cats

Smart move removing the cats....even smarter move bringing your car to Pro Edge for tuning.....Big Bill is second to none

You can warn people on this forum all you want but in the end they only listen to the sales guy selling them the product.

OE cats on the 13/14 seem pretty stout for those running stock or shorty headers.

I'd modify a set of stock cats to use with long tubes before I'd use anything aftermarket.

Tob ...I need to pass emissions in Canada and after 60kms p/s cat is failing.... Having s/maniford and H pipe and KR 's... Do you mean to gut the s/c ..ie..hollow out ? My problem is I need the sensors on to pass... I am not into changing back/forth.. So are you saying there is no product to use to pass and enjoy the power level without worry.... NO TRACK .... My ride is at BPS ... and this is a factor with are dealing with...... Any ideas????

My Dynatechs failed last weekend. Completely blew the Pass side out, ended up lodged down stream. If or I should say when they fail you will know it. I limped it home and degutted and all is well. Just waiting on a revised tune.

Man after reading this post I am very happy I deleted my cats.

 

[tvspower]

Yes .. I Heed the Warning....Thank you ... With 750 at the crank with street conservative 91/93 tunes ...... no track .... so no cats will last long enough without worry...... Unless with n/c ..... everyone else is in line for failure.....???? OUCH
