It can happen with any car. I think it's more common on cars that are not tuned well. Too much unburned fuel collecting in the catalyst can lead to deterioration

It can happen with any car. I think it's more common on cars that are not tuned well. Too much unburned fuel collecting in the catalyst can lead to deterioration and eventually it will blow out.
It also happens to some OEM cats. One of the catalysts blew out on my girlfriend's CLK 500 when she hit 70k miles. Covered under warranty (OEM emissions system is covered to 80k per federal law).
