My dealer replaced the Cat today under warantee saying that he is aware that some early cars were known to have been damaged shunting them on and off the delivery boats. Sounds far fetched and I was wndering if anyone had heard this . In any case I have a new cat and it runs fine.

They replaced mine a couple months back.I just took it off and put a midpipe in anyway, so it just sits in my attic now.

Troy J,

I've had mine replaced, as have several other UK owners.

Sounds like us-->CLICKY! (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=441390#post441390)
