I had it replaced in January, so the shop said they'd cover it free of charge. RAWK!
You might also want to have them fix the problem that is CAUSING the cat to clog so rapidly or you'll be right back in there in a few more months

One problem on a car can make 3 other ones...

Might want to do some intensive scanning, also your o2s might be a little off if there's enough stuff going through there to destroy the cat.

Son of a bitch.

I got a call back from them today. They said the car is running right(which I allready knew), and something cause carbon to build up in the cat(no ****), and now they're not going to cover it.

I'm picking the car up today after work and just taking the friggin cat off.

also, the first shop I had it at removed the O2 sensor, and when I drove it last night, it ran perfectly fine. I guess the exhaust backing up in the ypipe was causeing the O2 sensor to bug out. Thats why it was running like ***.
