Yes, it's certainly possibile. But without more information, and/or without knowing what sort of inspections/tests your mechanic did to come to this conclusion, it's impossibile for us to know if this is the most likely reason based on the information you've posted.

Personally, I wouldn't be using cats with a setup like yours in the first place, so I'd want the ORY no matter what. But that's your call.
