WTB: Stock/OEM Rx-8 catalytic converter
 

Please pm me if you have one for sale with your asking price

also buying other stock/oem cats

bump....

how much you pay?

hopefully around $130-$140

Good luck! Just had mine replaced under warranty; out of interest I asked the dealership what the cost would have been to me and was told in the neighborhood of $3000 installed...

lol...the part only costs a couple hundred bucks.

Where are you located? I have one but I don't want to ship it. I would be willing to drive an hour or so and will sell it for $150.

im in Massachusetts...way too far to drive..lol.

Dealer Criminals
 

I didn't say it was a fair estimate! Lol.

Just another example of dealership criminals. I took my wifes Honda in for front end noise and they were going to charge me $300 to replace a wheel bearing. It was covered under her extended warranty but I had to tell them it was covered otherwise they would have happily charged me for it.

that's why people buy aftermarket cats. only a moron would spend even $1000 to replace a cat...it would take a real "johhny the dunce" to spend $3k...sheesh you could buy a whole freaking car for that price

Yea new cats are like 2000 I have mine was sellih it for 500 but let it go for 300

new cat does not cost 2K. what have you been smoking.

bump...

bump....

bump....

i responded to your PM telling you I still had mine!, im in MA it really doesnt get that much easier and cheaper for you lol

Noone is gonna give you a working CAT for free

Just got my cat replaced today under warrenty. Total cost was 1800. Plus the 69 I paid for service fee

I have a stock cat its used has 83000 miles on it shoot me an email if you want to buy it Rastocky94@yahoo.com or text me 2035409570 im in Connecticut

Today I went to the dealer to see what was going on with my car. Long story short I have low compression, and my cat is clogged. They offered to replace the motor under warranty but to replace the cat I have to pay like 1700...dealer says the cat needs to be OEM factory for Mazda to honor the warranty. Am I screwed into spending loads on the cat?

Still interested in buying oem cats? I have one, pm me

I have a low (5K) mile cat off my 07 california car. Located in northern California (fairfield) I will post it in a few days, asking $500.

Do you seperate the resonators from the cat? I would be interested in the resonator part.

sorry haven't been on in a long time...i'm still looking and will pay $150 for a stock cat, or email me at c6z51vette@yahoo.com

are u still selling catalytic converter

I have a cat that im considering of selling... I'm in massachusetts.. I'm looking for 300 for it though..

Wrong. So very wrong. Lmao.

Go to a Mazda dealership and price the part. They vary by dealer but mine was $2400.00 (part only, no labor) replaced under warranty.

If you don't know why the rotary uses such an expensive cat/mid pipe assembly... Read.

Buy a cheap one and I can garuntee that shit won't last you six months. I'm a tech at honda and see tons of vehicles come in with failure of aftermarket cats that the replaced a few months back. If it ain't OEM cat I wouldn't waste my money...

Well in that case, Einstein, you go right ahead and cut out the stock cat from the mid-pipe and weld your $100 Pep boys catalytic convertor in it's place. Just let me know when you do so that I can stand back and watch the hilarity ensue.

When the hotter than normal, rotary exhaust melts the "innards" into one big homegenous "blob", I want to be here to read your post after the melted cat plugs your exhaust and causes your rotary to be the next in line for a $5k rebuild. Or, at the very least if you're lucky, it just falls to pieces and blows into your muffler.

Don't worry, I'll be here though to happily tell you what that "marbles in a can" sound you're getting is. :fingersx: :hahano:

Very well put.

I have one with high miles but the honeycomb is in mint condition, the heatshield definitely isn't lol, I'll let it go for 100, downside is im in jersey

these arguments make absolutely no sense at all. a new engine for a car costs $5k, how much are you going to pay for a used engine with 75k-100k miles on it? Just because a new cat costs $1500 doesn't mean a used cat is worth anything close to that. A new alloy wheel from the dealership costs probably $1000, whereas you can get one on ebay for probably $100.

Ill rent one to you. $20 an hour

bump....$150

depends on which wheels are we talking about

a new stock 18" alloy cost about 400-500 bux.

and a recondition 19" one cost less than 300 shipped.

As for the CAT, there are many aftermarket CATs with long warranty, just get one at AZ/AAP/ORLY/etc, if something happens bring it back to them they will replace it no questions asked.

Most Honda owners are cheap asses, the worst is that most of them don't know there is something called Warranty.

and mind you, stock cat that cost 1.8K can fail in couple thousand miles too. been there and done that.

Should have told me, I can sell u a brand new stock cat for 1300. LOL

Is anyone still selling a catalytic converter preferably in california but shipping is fine. Im in a desperate need of one.

I have a cat if you still want to buy one and I live in ma

oem cat 65k
 

i will offer you my stock cat for the 100 beans i have no interest in going back to it just laying around. has approx 65k was in perfect wokring order. took it off for more power in my FI build. located norther nj or eastern CT. i say either or because i travel between the two very often. hop to here from you soon brother

Is your cat still available? If so are you willing ship it to Arizona?

andre i do still have my cat also i have no problem shipping it to you but you will be in charge of shipping costs and we can do the transaction via paypal so we are both protected. so let me know and ill find out shipping costs to your zip code when you provide it for me.

I am in So California and also looking for an used OEM catalytic converter. My RX8 is failing SMOG and getting OBD code P0420...

I am really interested in buying the cat, but i have to wait till my next paycheck which is next tuesday. If you still have it then I'm definitely buying it.

I also recently bought an 8 that ended up having a clogged cat, now i need an OEM cat so i can go to the dealership and get an engine replacement because of bad compression. (95K)

BTW, I live in Yuma, AZ 85364

I have an OEM midpipe with catilytic converter that I will sell for really cheap and don't mind shipping. Email me: jtvandemar@yahoo.com

I live in south CA and have an used OEM cat for sale, around 55k miles, email me jsonm1hk@Gmail.com
