Default blown cats..

Quick question,

I have a h/c 02 ta..and like i have heard from some people, it's not uncommon to blow your cats. I have kooks LT's and Kooks y-with cats. My question is, is it bad to drive WOT with blown cats?? Can it cause damage? Also, i believe that it still should be under warranty (i have only had them on the car for 2-3 months..) is it worth getting a new set..or do you think i will just blow those as well.. Any fixes..besides ORY..i am thinking about that, but i want that as my last resort.

Thanks for any info.
-Jeff

I just took mine out when i orderd my y-pipe. If you blow them out I would just take them out and get o2 simms, unless you have emmissions

hehe, yeah...but i do like the car quieter..and the cats got rid of the rasp as well. if i went with an ORY, any suggestions on a quieter catback that isn't real restrictive? Right now i have a GMMG catback.

As long as it's not clogged you will be okay. 02 sims need to be used.
