On my car at Buttonwillow at the last WCLM. Rounding a corner, I heard the exhaust get louder. I pulled into the pits and checked it and found that the exhaust had separated from the cat. I did have aftermarket cat pipe and headers. But I can't say for sure that it was not operator error in making sure the clamp was tight enough.
The clamp is a little suspect in how well it clamps.
