Thats odd. I've heard of people having them **** out on them, but they called up the manufacturer and they replaced it free of charge since it was so soon after install. Might want to give it a try. Do you have your AIR removed?

rich can kill a cat
too cold temps can kill a cat
lean will SLAG a cat (faster than rich).

So make sure your tune is up an up. Hell the stock cat's aren't too long lasting.

Might just run cat-less with a race-pipe except for the inspection period mate they'll last longer heh.
