Hello Everyone, been a way from the forum while but I have a question for everyone, I have my Velocity Red 04 with 118K miles on it, been having my CEL lit up for a while now, changed the plugs, still on, took it to Mazda yesterday, told me the CEL is from a bad Cat, I know RB has a test pipe for like $250, and their website says resonated test pipe coming soon, anyone know when that is going to be released, also is there a way to trcik the CEL to going off with the test pipe installed, (if anyone knows a link that this has been talked about, i'd much appreicate it) BTW 118K miles, still the origianl engine, anybody else have high mileage and the original engine?

They said your cat (no surprise since it is more expensive than a second 02). So the question first off is, are you sure it is the cat and not the second 02? There are tell-tale signs to use in the differentiation. And if it is the cat, the the choice is where you want to go catless or not. If you decide catless, then it is whether you decide to go remapping or not. Yes the maps will erase your ECU logging of your OBDII, but it cost money to get it. So, now the ball is in your court, the answers are there. good luck

well, if you want the car to run good until you decide, get your existing cat gutted. It is history anyways so why not? Your car will run a lot better and you will know what it is like to run catless. Running the car with a bad/clogged cat starves the engine of its power
