yes, it will gradually happen... but it will be fast. The problem was probably there, but the person didnt know about it untill he hit the water, and got freaked out, and now noticed there was something wrong.

I have seen plenty of cats go bad on fuel injected cars.

my cat went bad. if you bought it from a dealer b i t c h at them and they might replace it if your car has less than 80,000 miles on it. that wat i did cuz there is like a national warrenty on them for 80,000 miles. i think u just got water all ten kinds of in your exhaust. it might still just be there.

this happened to me and luckily my car was still under warranty so it was replaced for free....

what it ended up to be was that my crankshaft threw a bearing and it scored the crankshaft along with tearing up a bunch of other junk....it was a quit ticking and then as the RPMS rose it got louder and faster (duh)....anyways its not cheap to have something like that replaced so hopefully thats not whats wrong with yours...good luck
