my car has stuffed 2 cats aswell
these days the cats are made from cheap shit stuff
i heard this from an exhaust fitter guy
he told me to get good 2nd hand ones from factory cars
they are much better quality and last for ages
for a cat to be stuffed my being rich it has to be super rich or super lean where the extreme heat from being lean can melt them too
but if yr mixtures are ok then it just might be shit quality cats
|
it's the heat of combustion of the fuel inside the cat that causes the problems...
lean mixtures are a bit hotter coming out of the engine, but nothing compared to the heat generated by burning fuel!!!
fwiw, i have run catalytic convertor material in furnaces for.... 4 years? 5 years? CONTINUOUSLY at 400 degrees C and they are still perfect.
they should be able to withstand around 600degC and still live (you may start to see the metal glowing at night if it is 600C)
Cya, STewart
