No they will not destroy your cat anymore then when the car was stock, however if the increase in backfires is due to you running rich, then it could clog your cat faster.

unless of course your talking about a pet cat, in which case watch out when hes near and those flames shoot out

I dont know about destroying your cat but you can burn a lot of the hair off. Just make sure you keep your cat inside the house or something if you plan on revving up your engine to shoot some flames.

U can, when one rotor has fouled plugs.......... I had a constant "torch" coming outta my CB when that happened.

Looked like a jet fighter and had 2 kids ask me how I did that.
