[Shotimes] OT - Cats disintegrate in other cars than SHO's

[Paul L Fisher]

I was reading the latest Sport Compact Car magazine and they are doing some
HP adders to a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V. They mentioned that there is a
catalytic converter in the exhaust manifold and after only 1,000 miles of
normal driving, it had some fine powder in it and that since the engine
doesn't have EGR, it tries ingesting exhaust through the valves. They
replaced the manifold with a header with no cat.

Anyhow, I thought it was interesting that even new cars can have this
problem.
