Catalytic converter replacement Just replaced one of my cats with the GM warranty. I'm hoping the other one hangs in there. I was wondering how many of you have had to replace one or both of your cats? How much mileage was on your car when the replacement was necessary? Please don't vote if you have customized your exhaust system and voluntarily removed the cats. I'm looking for the actual number of failures. Thanks in advance!

Well it is happening more and more with the newer cars. With gas getting shittyer, I see a lot more failures at the dealer than a few years back. I am replacing atleast two a week. Cat with low flow. I did not vote since it did not really apply top me, but threw in my two cents for you.

Bump...There must be a few more than 11 owners that know the history of their cars. I realize many are 2nd and 3rd owner cars but there must be more of you out there. Maybe I'm wrong. Thanks to those that voted, and your comments too.
