In previous posts i have asked IF CZ was involved , so far i have not been given an answer . Why ???? THE answer should be a simple YES OR NO
Whats the big deal in disclosing who is involved if it isnt CZ ??

Both are just being released, both have full control but let the factory ECU "think" it is contoling everything, and both are priced similarly.
I'd say the guts are HKS.

I would gets its either the Microtech (see their site) or the unichip.
Good news is that the F-con is an option now for some folks, and competition is good for the consumer, as are options.

Another question about X-interceptor
Q.- X-interceptor will allow (finally) users to tune their cars. As a result the engines will end ud running leaner and therefore the exhaust temperatures will be (far) higher.
Under these circumstances there may be many people considering to remove the cat not just to aliviate exhaust backpressure but also to preserve the cat for future use (i.e. to bring the car to Mazda for maintenance keep the warranty). The point is, can X-interceptor run the car without the cat? would not be any problems with the stock ECU when it sees that the O2 sensors measure the same or are removed?
Cheers

If your going to run NA, I would get high flow cat for the car. Running Catless is nasty, it smells and in reality, you can get a good HF cat that will flow almost as good as a midpipe, not have you smelling like gas, passing emissions and not having O2 sensor issues.

i believe what he is worried about is not backpressure, but the actual exhaust temperature which if it gets too high from running leaner, then the catalyst may start to degrade and or melt.

also, if i remember correctly (at least for the hondas) if you run too rich, you can overwork the catalyst and cause it to degrade as the cat will be trying to break down any unburned fuel to reduce emissions, so running too rich can be a bad thing too

Ok, so theres no cat, but mostly everybody will probably be running a cat......so can anyone give an aproximation to the increase in HP and torque with a cat?? Or will Mazsport eventually run tests with a cat?

The OEM set-up is super rich to preserve the cat -- think what the cat life will be with a leaned out fuel mix tuned to 300whp Not that I care anyway -- I have the high temp/high flow cat already.

the cat should at least last you for the time most people keep the car. At around 18,000miles/year that's only 180,000miles in 10 years. I believe the cat should last that long even if you run it leaner.

The 100k miles mark makes some sense, since CA currently mandates certain parts must last that long, like the timing belt. Of course, what happens (like on the Miata) is that CA owners just get a different service interval recommendation than the rest of the country (who is told to change the belt at 60k).
Cat life is shortened by:
-extremely rich mixtures
-sulfur or other trace chemicals in fuel
-extreme heat
