Default Is there another problem?

Cats usually last a long time. If they get clogged it usually an issue with the engine burning oil or in other words sending oil into the cats that clog them up. With a wild cam I would imagine that if the fuel is rich then raw fuel would start to clog the cats. So a good running tuned engine shouldn't have any cats getting clogged.

I have seen some cats in Jegs catalog that breath better and still function as a cat but I don't remember their name or if anyone has tried them.
