Default Anyone ever melt a Kook's cat?

Curious if anyone ever melted a Kook's cat on Kook's headers boosted? I have a set I can put on in place of the catless connection pipes but I would rather gut a scrap/melted pair to pass visual inspection. I have posted on a few forums with no luck for a pair.

I run E85 to E47 at 10 psi with a PE lambda of .78 and I am wondering if the cats would survive. I think it's highly unlikely but I'm curious for input.

Backed off to E47 this season for fueling issues on the Livernois twin pump. Still hoping for the Squash returnless PWM system at some point for E85 again. ID850's creep up to 90% IDC with E85 as fuel pressure drops into the mid 40's at 6500 rpm.

Nice alternative, I'll have to see if there is enough length to add them, problem is the Kook's pipes reduce from 3" at the collector to 2.5" to mate the catback on mine. I had a 3" catback (MBRP) a year ago but the drone was so obnoxious (x pipe or res H) that I dumped it for Solo's Mach XL J pipe catback.

As I suspected. Thank you.

Still looking for a pair to gut if anyone has the melted ones laying around.
