The cats don't die from high temps, they need high temps to work properly.  A 
rich running engine will kill a cat though where unburned fuel gets into it.  
I took the insides of my cat out when it got all clogged up.  Might want to 
do that so you don't need to keep replacing it.  I believe CIS tends to run 
engines a little rich and thats why roccos tend to ruin cats a lot.
