Could you please tell us more about your car?
What are your problems, aside from the check engine light being on?

You should get your cat inspected and check your oxygen sensor as well, maybe it is poorly connected.
What do you mean with uncomfortable driving?
Do you have problems starting the car when hot?

I'm sorry to make so many questions but helping through a forum is not the easiest thing on earth.

This sounds strange.

km is 17500, excusme i didnt understand motor mount , there is just straight pipe exhaust coz opened it maybe it could be a problem in it but it was normal, car is stock and there is no problem without this, when i control checking light now problem is looking rear oxygen sensor and damaged oxygen sensor can uncomfortable running , but it is new one maybe catalytc is not orginal so it cannot be work normally from cataltytc , i think that to catless , can cat be interferrence to exhaustion...

Changing the catalytic converter shouldn't cause the car to run poorly. There are users that simply remove the cat and get along with the engine light without issues.
If the problems started while removing\changing the catalyzer i suggest you inspect the new one and the rear oxygen sensor. Maybe it was damaged during the installation...
Otherwise we'll have to check for other potential causes

Nevermind the help!
Instead of getting lost in your country with expensive parts etc you should contact Mazmart on this board, they really have competitive prices for replacement parts!

I ran catless for a long time, no problem, just the light.
Removing the catalyst material from the stock piping works best, a straight pipe in place of the cat will make the car twice as loud....

Did you fix your problem or did you end up "fire up *******" your car? I'm not even sure what that phrase means but it seems like you're saying you might set your car on fire out of anger! LOL.

Please don't do that! As an option, you did mention "attack Mazda's headquarters"! That might be a more prudent solution.
