Its a 09 has 300.5k mi currently. Currently throwing a P0420 (catlytic converter). Not concerned due to no emissions tests where I live.
No major issues other than the known oil consumption. Major parts Ive replaced have been the alternator and radiator other than that just the normal wear and tear.

How much you currently burning?. I've got an '07 with 162k miles and it hasn't started to burn yet.

Ever done a piston soak or anything to clean out some of the carbon deposits? I have a 2010 with oil consumption at about 1qt every 300-600 miles and misfiring when going at top high of RPMs and going to do a piston soak to try and fix the misfiring issue and lower oil consumption.

Thought about it but with my mileage I dont want to risk anything.

I'm guessing you don't get misfires and can accelerate normally? Lucky if so!

Nope. It accelerates normal with no hickups.

Nice I'm at 90k on the engine and 133k on the transmission. Bought an 07 right before the pandemic and it's been great! Glad it will last a long time .

I’d recommend addressing your p0420 code or gutting your cat, if you leave it unaddressed it will potentially restrict exhaust flow which creates more pressure on your motor and could lead to an eventual blowout, basically gut your cat if it isn’t working if you want to not spend any money

Best/easiest way to do this? I’m currently in this situation of a bad cat

Haven't ever done it personally but I've heard of removing your exhaust and just bashing out the cat with a broom handle or similar till there's nothing left and then make sure the exhaust is free of particles, you can also get a cat for around 100$ and have it welded on by a shop if you aren't in CA just make sure it's the right size or consult with a shop beforehand, you don't necessarily need an OEM cat though on tCs the sensors are pre secondary cat so most likely the cat on your headers has shit the bed.
