    I have had it come and go since I got my 03 GT @ 75,000. I have tried 3 or 4 universal cat's after the factory one started to plug. I ignore mine, each time the cat was covered under warranty so I am not out much. I do have a $45 scanner I will check codes every once in a while to be sure nothing else has shown up.
