Hmmm I think my cat is on the end of its life now too. power was good for a week after coils, but now it went back to before. Loss of power seems like. Im trying to buy a midpipe soon and see what happens.

Personally...before ordering a midpipe I would hit up a local and see if you could borrow a midpipe or cat and test out your theory. Im thinkin you are going to need O2 sensors instead...but it is possible the cat is dead after runnin rich for so long.

nearest local to me is an hour and a half away, I do know a lot of RX7 owners and one of them works in a rotary shop, I can see what he says. But their shop overcharges.

I been wanting a midpipe for a long time anyways.

Well I moved to just outside the Bay Area, nearest meet is in Bay Area. Unless im just imagining it haha. Seems like power is same since I bought it. It was just more responsive in lower RPM right after I changed coils. Idle still dips though.
