shiiiit, i have a nismo exhaust on my 07 w/ stock OEM cats and i have had to replace the cats twice now due to cracking at the welds.. dealer says I am the only one out there w/ this issue.. =/ interesting! HA!
all replaced under warranty, have never bottomed out my car. both have maybe gone.. id say.. 10k each before having to be replaced.
was starting to think replacing them with an aftermarket setup could possibly fix this issue... lol but I guess not! =P

It's hard to believe b/c when you look at OEM cats, they look INDESTRUCTIBLE..

Nismo with HFCs is a different story. Many people have reported cracking by pairing HFCs to Nismo exhaust. But my HFCs haven't cracked..so I guess it's either hit or miss by pairing HFCs to the Nismo exhaust.

Nismo won't crack stock cats. They are virtually indestructible. I have never heard of anyone cracking their stock cats, except for the guy a few posts above..
