I don't know about that.  I do know that quite a several of the first
SE-Rs to hit the streets had main cats that tended to self-destruct in a
matter of weeks.  Doesn't seem to be a problem anymore, but it raised a
few eyebrows.

Clearly there's no way in hell that the main cat's parts would get
sucked back into they cylinder, because the close-coupled cat is in the
way.  Even destroying the CCC, though, I can't imagine the dynamics of
the exhaust manifold being sooo bad that it would suck bits back into
the cylinder...
