Solve my catalytic converter mystery...

So I pull my converter off my Z tonight cause i'm making a straight pipe with a cut out in it. I've run a few bottles of juice through the car in the past couple of months since I put my dry kit on. It will run 11's and is making in the 450hp/550tq range at the rears. Anyway, I pull it off and the core is completly gone! Totally cleaned out. It "was" a Random Technologies high flow cat before it dissapeared. Now it's really a high flow cat! Any ideas on how it happened? I'm thinking it had to happen after I put the bottle on it. I've never ran too rich or lean before or after I put the bottle on. Is it possible that the cat was so much of a restriction that once I sprayed, it just blew the crap out of the converter? Not that I care anyway, but just curious and would like to solve the mystery. Any input? Thanks....

If you have a catback and muffler on your car..Be sure to take if off and check to see if there is still bits and pieces of you cat logged in there.
I am not sure how it happens but this did happen to my friends Z28 when it was N/A. He pulled the catback off and shook all the cat stuff out of it.

Thx,
Claude
