Did they mention anything about the condition of the exhaust, or any leaks on it.

What did they actually put regards the emmisions on the fail sheet.

If it was CO and hydrocarbons it doesn't look good for the CAT, the engine may have been overfuelling and may have killed the CAT, or the CAT may have just expired.
