It might be worth it to you to have the car dyno tested to see hoiw it's running. It would be good peice of mind to know your numbers anyway..

I have 6000 miles on the car. Its brand new 07.

They were saying that by law it is there job to make sure the car can pass emission standards so there gonna replace the cats. Thats exactly what that stuff looked like coming out of the back. Honeycomb drywall.

Does anyone think my tune was making the car run too lean or rich and may have contributed to the problem?

Its VERY possible your tune is too rich. My first tune I had made my car sound extremely loud, and ate gas up..... When I got a CAI + new tune, the car quieted down severely, and gas mileage shot up. In other words my first tune, which was a canned tune included with my predator, was running way too rich, which makes sense since Diablo makers must play it safe by making a tune richer instead of riskinglean.

That sounds like an existing defect. If you were running THAT lean/rich you would've had other prblems way before it toasted the cats. Like rough running or idle, **** poor gas mileage, etc. Engine codes, etc....
