Default glitter coming out of the exhaust

hello I have a 1997 Camaro with a 383 stroker and a vortech YSI supercharger my question is I start the car up and I noticed some glittery stuff blowing out of the exhaust I'm running the factory cats with 160,000 miles on them do you think it's the cats coming apart. If so I was planning on removing them anyway. Can I just let them blow out the exhaust?

The cats are probably destroyed, is it down on power?

I think they are already gutting them selves and trying to clog up your exhaust

I would definitely look into the cats first, then figure out why you have fairies living in your exhaust. At least you could charge them rent to help fund your new cats.

Don't get that stuff all over you. Not that it is toxic, you don't want the significant other accusing you of coming back from a strip club.

All it needs are some glow sticks, disco ball and gangnam style.

if they are coming apart, id take the time to gut them or remove them, ive seen a few motors start to drink oil after the cat(s) have failed,
