As long as your not overly rich i don't see a problem. All they do is just re burn the unburned fuel so being overly rich can cause them to overheat as well as a exhaust backfire wont be very good for them. But a proper running nitrous system shouldn't cause an issues.

i have a nitrous express wet system and when i first installed it on my car i had stock exhaust besides the catback and cutout, a few months after i installed my LT's and ORY and the right side cat was blown out. Not sure if it was from the nitrous.

I have sprayed a 150 shot on my car plenty of times with no damage to the cats. I am running S/S cats in mine though.
