are these high-flow cats the same?
sorry for what is a simple and maybe a redundant question..
there aren't any part numbers to reference and they "appear" the same other than the $50 price difference.

http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/rx...flow%20cat.htm
and on a side note, they have a bolt and gasket kit for $30 in case the stock ones from the oem cat cannot be reused but does anyone know offhand how much the dealer would charge for identical parts

Hard to say, the 2nd link you gave has pretty much no information on the cat or pipe. The first at least explains and says what type of high flow cat your buying. Just by the pictures you can see they are not the same though.

I think that 1st one is just an outdated picture, it's been listed that way for quite some time even though they switched cats probably 3 or 4 years ago.
Unfortunately I've had terrible luck with the RP cat. My last one only lasted 5,000 (or was it 7,000 miles) I forget which.

You could get a Corksport high flow cat with resonator.

what do I do with the second bung on the corksport pipe w/ catalyst if I'm not running another sensor?
really continental mazda can get a deal on corksport components? I don't mind spending a little extra I just wanted to get some added performance and replace my old oem cat with a high flow cat, just didnt seem like there were a lot of options. I'm na w/ rb air duct & borla cat-back and wanted a good compliment

yea I've read good things about the BHR part but $450 for a midpipe plus $175 to add a catalyst is a pretty big margin compared to ~450 range for pretty much every other high flow cat I've seen. Can you sell me on why its worth the added $$$ compared to the popular RP supercat or the corksport version?

I'd have already have purchased the BHR midpipe if it weren't for the rumored header that they are supposedly developing which also supposedly requires a custom midpipe. I think it will be well worth the price, and, since I regard my RX-8 as a touring car that I intend to keep for the next decade or more, quality is something I am happy to pay for.
