I got that. And not to say it might give you some evidence that the cats may be bad, but there are tests that would show without a doubt that they are bad so why mess with a test that may not give accurate results. Backpressure tests, scan tool data in graphing mode (if you have a high speed, quality scan tool), lab scope back probed into the signal wire of the o2 sensor, or a gas anylizer test, would all give you accurate results when you did the testing. And I understand that not everyone may have access to the needed equipment to do these tests, I was just trying to get across it may not give you a definite result.
