So I happened to pop code P0240 on my way home from work today and it seems it is time for a new Catcon.

Can anyone direct me to the quickest/best replacement Catcon other than Mazda OEM $1000+ Catcons? Something that holds up to the higher temps?

Preferably in Canada to save time, or else I would go ahead and buy the davesport one.

Has anyone had any luck with the universal rx7 Magnaflow cats or of similar in Ontario?

get an aftermarket high flow cat. they do the job just as well and arent as heavy

Why not just put a pipe on from

$240 including delivery, then put a Spark plug non fouler in the downstream O2 hole. Total cost $250

Nope won't work. Been there done that.

Highly doubt it will work.
Darkbrew and I have a custom RP midpipe with a Davesport Cat installed.

We unfortunately haven't done a Emission test yet but we are not holding our breath as far as a pass.

As an FYI --
While the Ontario emission laws are changing they currently do a sniff test while you vehicle is on a modified dyno.

Well thats good to know.

I currently just went and got a hi flo cat installed for 270$ at a local shop.

I hear the defouler plug doesn't always work, and im not fond of having a CEL all day every day.

I cleared the code with the scanner. Hopefully it wont come back within the year, or have a premature failure.

Thanks for the replies.

No aftermarket cat lasts as long as the original, especially the "local muffler shop ones"

On my old Fc's I wen through 7 in 1 year ( free replacements) and then they wouldnt warranty me anymore, so I went to a straight pipe, and put a cat in for etest day.

Even a regular piston powered car will go through that cat in 2 years, or less.

Try looking for a used stock one while you drive on this one for the meantime.

My stock cat passed emissions pretty easily here so I think a high-flow might pass the sniffer as well. All my numbers were way below ontario limits.

If you go catless watch out for the smog patrol lol =D
