[s-cars] exhausted

[Joshua van Tol]

Yep, you betcha they will.

Rich mixture is hell on catalytic converters. It causes the cat to  
get very hot, which can cause the ceramic honeycomb to break down.  
There are some newer converters on the market that use pleated metal  
wound into a tube, but I imagine those can get cooked too.
