Need a new Cat...

My cat went out had one to buy but the guy sold it.

Need either an OEM, hi-flow, or super.

Hopefully doesn't cost too much lol.

considering there aren't many aftermarket cats available for our cars and the cost of an OEM cat, the RP is a bargain.

Sorry to thread jack but how does one tell if the cat is going back or not? I have suspicion that my cat is going bad but there are no solid signs.

Power loss, prevalent gas smell, CEL.

Take it out and visually inspect it.

Will be doing that soon. No CEL though. I noticed that my RX8 sounds slightly different also including slight power loss. It sounds like an old FC or FB coming from where the cat is. Idles and starts up just fine though.
