Default High flow cats?

How long have your high flow cats held up? Miles, years, etc? Ordering my long tubes on friday and i am not sure about the cats. Not worried about losing power with the cats but i just dont want to deal with the cats going bad in a year or so. Thanks

I don't have them on the vette, but my son has them on his older Camaro, with headers etc, for about 7 yrs now, not a lot of mileage, but they're still good... nothing really to go wrong with them as I see, cuz they're just straight through - no resistance...

In the 3.5 years we've been in buisness we've seen less than 10 cats go bad. Most of those were in 700+ rwhp mustangs while on the dyno
