What makes you think they have failed, are you using pattern cats? Got error codes? Emissions high?

i had this problem earlier this year,had a warped exhaust manifold,changed that inc gasket,then turned out to be the cat that was knackered due to me running round with the eml on...!.check for any leaks in the exhaust/downpipe joint first though. :)

Very common occurence on the DBW engine ... reset the codes with a cheap reader and don't worry about it. :) It seems to occur if you change fuel supplier for some reason ... IME ... I bought the GS500 mainly for this reason ...  it is not a matter of "if" the 2.6/3.2 will give this problem .. but "when" ...  :)

If you ignored a misfire for ages then I can see how a cat might fail, or if it was coated in oil maybe..

I think it's funny how you can 'scrap' a genuine cat and have enough cash to go a buy a brand new pattern part.
