My only knowledge is from guys who have had cat failures on Ford GTs and GT500s after installing long tube headers and thus moving the cats too far back for proper light off, In some cases causing Engine failures. But this is second hand knowledge and maybe due to more recent cat design. The new cats are sure packed tight with the platinum foil material.
