Mine went bad at about the same mileage. It actually first manifested as a rattle. Something inside had broken loose. CEL came on several hundred miles later.

Default RE Cat failure

I have had 6 cats fail on me!It was finally determined that the problem was that I was running the PSE in the "open"constantly in fact I hadn't had the electronics installed .It wasn't untill PCNA started getting upset that It was recommended that I have the PSE stuff installed it seems to have solved the problem.My cats were sort of melting down from the core.
