Oem catalytic converter

Category: Engine - Exhaust
Price: $300
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): Series I
Location (US State/Canada/Int): IA
Item Condition: Used

Selling my Stock Cat from the RX8. I got a new one under warranty and only ran it for about 12k miles. After that, I put the RP Supercat and have been keeping the stock one in storage since. But since I'm about to turn over 100k miles, and exiting my car's warranty period, I no longer have a need to keep it around.

Asking 300+shipping. Will gladly send pics to anyone who wants them. Already have them taken on my phone, just don't have them on the computer yet to upload in this thread.

I've been looking at other people's postings of oem cats for sale so I could compare my pricing to theirs. The dealer replaced the cat when for me, but mine doesn't look anything like the others. Is it because they had a design change or what?

Im attaching a picture of it.

yeah, doesn't look like the stock one. Looks like your missing a resonator and the cat appears to be smaller.

I'd take it back. It definitely isn't a Mazda catalytic converter. It doesn't look anything like the Mazda OEM cat.

If the dealership says anything I would contact Mazda North America to let them know about the dealership. Especially if they put that on under warranty.

looks like a cheap cat, cheaply welded into a cheap straight pipe. Take that **** back man. Be sure to call and send the picture above to Mazda North America.

Looks like I'm screwed on the cat. When I bought the car it had no cat and was throwing a cel. The car lot I bought the car from told me they took if to the dealer and had it replaced.

Turns out, the dealership claims that the car lot took it to them to get the engine light checked, Mazda told them there was no cat on it, so the car lot took it back and put that universal cat on.

Until recently, I had never seen an own cat so I never knew to question it. Damn!


Anybody need a cat? Lol make me an offer...no clue what it's worth but I know it fits good!

Well if it works and you wanna get rid of it cheap I'm open to it, looks like a rx7store highflow cat clone, just with some real nasty welding. Honestly I think 150+ I pay shipping to 92808, How does that sound? reason being is Im looking at the Rp racing Cat myself, which im sure you know looks a hell of alot better(welds,finish, material) but something to get me by would be nice. thanks for your consideration.
