Dale,
I would offer that even if the temperature while running normally is 
OK, that what happens when a cat goes bad (glows red hot), is enough 
to do something extra to protect your aluminum engine block, which is 
less than two inches away, from that kind of heat.

Warren told me the same, but it didn't sit well with me. After trying 
to find a suitable replacement, I decided on wrapping with exhaust 
system wrap. Matter of fact, I did the whole system while I had it 
out. Looks good, oughta add a couple horse, and will channel the heat 
away from the top of the tranny and sides of the aluminum block.

My thoughts anyway,
