I just don't want to clog or melt down the converters, because they are $60 to $80 each and I will need 2 of them. If the price of platinum and palladium go up replacements could cost a lot more.

Maybe water injection could also help on that matter.

That insite converter sounds like the gasoline version of a diesel catalyst. When it gets saturated with the undesirable NOx substance it has to make like a diesel and burn more fuel to get rid of it.
I'm kind of against burning more fuel for slightly cleaner emissions.

In a Diesel it usually resorts to a post-injection at the exhaust stroke, which is only doable because of the direct injection. Otherwise an extra injection would be required at the exhaust.
