Gutted Random CAT

I just looked down thru my CAT and it is gutted. It wasn't when I put it on.
No one else has had my car. Except for the dealer, and I don't think that they would have gutted my CAT.
Could the SC have done it?
Could itt have happened when I detonated?
Has this happed to anyone else?

the bricks can become dislodged and just come out the muffler. maybe you had too much exhaust pressure.

Did you notice any kind of performance improvement over the past few months without no appearant reason. As the pieces were breaking apart creating less and less back pressure.
