How many miles on your car? The catalytic converter is covered under federal warranty for 8yr/100K

Create a WTB thread in the for sale section. Someone should have one for sale. You will save a lot of money buying a good used CAT.

Are you sure this is CA legal? Or is it just 49 state legal, CA excluded. I contacted RP and asked the same question and have not heard back from them yet.

All the info you need is here:

The short story is, there seems to be no legal RX-8 aftermarket converter for California at this time.

I think the State of California has the strictest emission testing in the nation.
