Engine misfiring caused 2 catalytic converters to clog. Once clogged, the exhaust back pressure burst the EGR valve and other emissions parts. I've had to change cat 5 times because of the recurring engine misfiring. happens on humid/rainy days. current exhaust system is a straight test pipe and no cats that i daily drive, i put stock exhaust on only for inspection times.
Manifolds are also obnoxiously placed in the most inconvenient spots for owners to change. Requires you take it to a shop. Rear bank manifold clogs up every year and never costs less than $800 to change.
