I'm with PB on this.  High coolant temps will not affect a cat, since it's designed to see exhaust temperatures well in excess of anything the coolant will reach.
That muffler guys needs to find a new line of work.

high temp killing the catalytic converter... chances are its more than
likely too rich of a mix killing it.
besides all my scirocco have (and they are 8v) been eating cats every 3-4
years, then again I buy generic flowmaster types from local muffler shop for
55$ so I dont mind...lol
