I'm thinking my cat is toast, just would like to verify. Seems the deposits are not carbon and hard.

Questions I have:
- Agree its toast?
- Anybody have a pic of an original cat from the tailpipe end? Would like to see what an orginal cat looked like from the tailpipe end as the melted depostis around the edges seem "honeycomb-ish"
- What is the most likely component failing to cause this? (probably the most important, as I don't want to smoke a new $285 or so cat).


Melted depostis around edges, seems like melted honeycombs

Yes, it's pretty gone, you'll probably see a bit of a power increase when it's replaced. But now you should figure out whats causing this before putting a new one in. I didn't do this a ruined one in a year... kindasad.gif 300 buck down the toilet.
