My car passed a stone..........:(

Well my Passat's Cat has been coming apart and letting fairly large chunks
(at least 2) rumble around as they slowly make their way down the exhaust
system.  He passed his first one yesterday with a little help from me and a
screwdriver.  On a side note I have a Tectonics Stainless exhaust with a
venturi on the end to reduce the noise which reduces the size of the pipe so
when the piece finally makes it to the end it can not get out. 

Anyway....is this normal for the cat to come apart. Should I just start
banging on the cat to speed the process??

Thanks
