Go Texas Longhorns!
Rx8 owner: Hi, I need to replace my stock cat with a new one
Shop: Well, you can’t do that since your car is so new
Rx8 owner: Well, my stock one was damaged, so I need a after market one
Shop: Really, damaged, how’d that happen?
Rx8 owner: it was terrible, I was working on my exhaust and accidentally punched a hole in it.
Shop: That’s too bad, may I suggest a high flow one?
Rx8 owner: sure, I’m really going to miss my old one though

I understand the law about changing your cat, but the way I see it, if I need a way to have higher exhaust temps, I would rather continue to save the environment rather than running a cat-delete pipe. I am willing to make alittle more effort and pay alittle more money to keep the air cleaner.
