[QUOTE="JB_2010GT500, post: 14996456, member: 163228"] Thank you very much, Tob. I felt it was time to give back after I had learned so much thru these forums. Maybe I should make a thread dedicated to failed aftermarket parts as well :eek:. I like to document and collect facts as much as possible, even when I don't even fully understand them when it comes to the car. I learned the hard way not to do the rev/dump launches, for sure. Funny how there are always keyboard and bench racers willing to say "just rev it up and dump it!". I did notice symptoms of the catalytic converters failing prior to the CEL. First, I noticed that the exhaust note had gotten louder and raspier. I also could smell it. Finally, once the CEL came on, I had someone rev the engine a bit while I watched little metallic specs appear to fly out the exhaust. Not sure what that material was and not 100% certain the specs were even coming out of the exhaust (there's a chance they were sand particles being kicked up from beneath the exhaust tips). I wasn't able to peek into the back side of the catalytic converters since the pipes have bends in them. Could it possibly be that there are some remains of the catalytic converters caught in the muffler chambers? [/QUOTE]
