regardless cats are not going to be helping exhaust velocity.
cats don't heat up the exhaust to work; when they work they heat up the exhaust.

both of you have valid point
so I will shut up !

if we come back on topic about the oem muffler , it means it cannot support high revving of the engine for an extended period of time.... no matter with cats or test pipe... I just dont see why the muffler would start rattle with just the test pipe ,, i haven't really pushed the oem muffler with cats anyway...
but it was mentioned also by another guy having test pipe and going thru 2 oem muffler ... might be a coincidence ? or the inside baffles are just poorly designed.
