I do but all you need to do is start a new thread in the "Trouble Shooting section" that way more people can help rather than just me.

My CAT just went bad at 76k miles on the OEM. My engine constantly threw the P0420 error (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)). Sure enough when I took my 8 to mazda today they said it was indeed my Cat that had gone bad and they ordered the parts to do it. I have to go back in a week for them to replace it!

Yes ANYTHING emissions related is covered at 8yr/80,000 miles. If it is a bad cat you should be throwing a P0420 CEL code.
