On the 4 hours..... They said they'd need the car 4 hours, with one or two of those hours to let it cool down before they work on it. Sorry, I should have clarified in the earlier post.

No reason to charge you for the hours where the car is just sitting there cooling off. That would be silly.

4 hours of labor is a joke. Unless they spend 3.5 hours standing around telling jokes, and then install it in the last half-hour.
Also, the Evo X cat is metallic (I've looked inside, and it's not a ceramic brick). Probably 400 cell. Metal cats are supposed to be more resistant (although not indestructable) to breaking down than ceramic cats, so that problem is a very odd one to have.
