After having all the modifications (that are listed in my sig) done too my car at once, apparently my 8 was running too rich... Melted the catalytic converter, which melted my O2 sensor, which sent melted chunks of CAT into my Agency Power mufflers...
My car is significantly slower, even after removing all that CAT crap from the CAT, and from the pipes all the way up too the mufflers... I called Agency Power, asking if they could sell me just the mufflers, but of course everything has too come in a package and cost me an arm and a leg... Did I mention I'm still in college?
In which case, being in college with this car might be fun, but isn't when you change anything from stock... Because as soon as you have the money too get what you want, you'll need 2X the amount too repair what you've changed...
Has this happened with nobody else? Or am I the only person that is having too essentially replace my whole exhaust simply because of one ripped too shreds CAT?

If the mods are causing you all the problems, both stressful problems and financial problems, why don't you just sell the remaining mods that are on the car, turn everything back to stock, and have everything covered under warranty? Seems like a no brainer to me...

I just don't understand how nobody could not be as possibly frustrated as me too have there CAT go into pieces... I mean I understood that my after market cat would fail at some point, just didn't really expect it too be such a hassle...
When cat's fail do they just fall into pieces? I expected the stuff too keep together, while somehow failing what it does...
Or does CAT failure simply mean I got a bunch of CAT pieces in my exhaust?

Oh I can totally understand you being pissed. Have you contacted the people you bought it from? Have they offered you any solution?
But you coming on here and complaining because you are in debt from buying stuff for your car, that is going to be a tough sell to any car enthusiast.
