Is anyone running catless on there 8? And have a mid pipe?

 

nope its illegal and no one will ever run without a cat because that is just bad.

I would never ever ever run without my cat

 

yes, ive been running catless for about a year now, and i love it

 

what i hear running catless = 10-13 mpg = louder = more cops $$$$ = CEL = more smoke

swapping for a midpipe & catless = 14-16 mpg = CEL = more smoke = smell from exhaust

But if you have a COBB AP , you can control the some things but not all...

 

/\ mama mia . The things you learn on the inernetz

 

Yeah some of those figures smell like they came out of someones **** cavity...

A gutted catpipe isn't as loud as a midpipe, even a resonated one.

The huge cat cavity knocks the sound down quite a bit.

I have both and there is a big difference.

(The odor is only an issue when the car is stationary, and that has an easy fix!)

i honestly didnt hear much of a difference on my midpipe, i have the turboxs single resonated midpipe and at start up that thing is as quiet as stock, the only time you really hear it is at 4k rpms cus of the rasp, other than that i honestly think its as quiet as the stock cat

 

Thank u dozer! I was scared because my cat went out mazda blew me off I had no other choice but to take it out! And I just was wondering if I was alone on this I was kinda getting worried! But its all good!

 

if your car doesn't have more than 80,000 miles on it , MAZDA MUST replace it for free BY LAW ...

 

Mazda here in Hrvatska doesn't warrant anything after the 3 year warranty expires,not the cat,clutch bracket or motor failure, nothing.
And,my cat had nothing inside at 55,000 kilometers,it was empty and passed smog test the first time but not this year.

 

I only have 20k on my 06 at but I have after market exaust and mazda wouldn't touch it so I had to take another route

 

I run ap dual res mid pipe and cat back and I am happy/will be happier with a cobb to adjust a couple things but I am much happier with the aftermarket solution.

 

im not the only one in socal running catless either

 

Awsome! As long as I'm not alone on this! I'm new to this but I heard the cat is pointless any way plus the 8 can breath better w/o the cat!

 

I'm in OK and have been running catless for a couple of months. No problems yet.

 

um.. what?

you have to gut your head first ....

 

...
Catless is teh besT!

 

not sure how to quote but you said "if your car doesn't have more than 80,000 miles on it , MAZDA MUST replace it for free BY LAW ..."
I went to Ricart ( Columbus, OH) and they told me that they wouldn't replace it because the coils caused it to go bad so i ended up gutting it. If you search for DIY gutting your cat or whatever i have a video of what my gutted cat sounds like with stock everything else. A little bit lower sound but i like it. Eh here is link to the vid.
