Yes, this has happened to myself (also greddy turbo) and others on here. Mine had signs of breaking down and didn't affect it much, but there have been others where it's clogged really bad and their car was NA. Due to high exhaust temps.
Get a highflow cat converter or midpipe with no cat if you don't have emissions testing in your area.
