Also, I believe this system was recently purchased used, so anything could have gone on it it's prior life to weaken the cats...IMO, at some point these cats were exposed to abusive conditions leading to the failure. This is certainly not a normal occurance with our or any cats!
Thanks to clarified John. Got a bit scared for a moment !! Can't wait to receive your 2.5" system !!! Tools are ready !!
