Design flaw. You put a Ferrari engine in a Maserati and Ferrari make you choke the engine as much as possible so it doesn't out perform the Ferrari cars. Stick a squash pipe and 2 cats close together so when the primary's break up, they can't get past the secondary cats and end up getting sucked back into the engine.
The cats are ceramic so basically break up into a sand. This sand mixes with the oil and you can work out what happens from this point.
This is why every 4200/GS I have had gets its secondary's chopped out so if the primary's do break up they get blown out the back.
From what I have seen 70k miles seems to be the point where this happens.
Picked up the GS today after getting Larini sports cats put in. Not exaggerating too much to say it felt like a different car. A real shame the stock set up was done that way.
