It's ebay junk. You could get lucky, you could not. It will cause a check engine light and fail emissions if you have them.

When buying aftermarket exhaust components, especially cats and resonators, keep the high exhaust temperature this car can put out in mind. It will melt most of the cheap stuff.

Had a rattle somewhere which i couldn't pinpoint. Changed cat back exhaust and found chunks of grey stuff in exhaust. Presume ceramic from cat ? So would it be stuffed and best option ?

Cheapest and fastest option is to gut it.
Don't drive it until you do, clogged cats will kill your engine, and you're lucky if it didn't do some damage already.
If you have to have a cat, there are no cheap options that last.

am going to make a single thread about this when all my rx8 fixes are done.
but a huge mention for borla and the million mile warranty.
my borla had ~ 130k miles on it. it failed on a drive home from pettit racing.. running motor out in second and third gear.
damn was it loud.
made a phone call. gave them the month and year of purchase, who i got it from, (out of business for years) and sent them a photo of failed muffler..
they had to build one for me. but got a box from them in about 3 weeks.
in this day and age i was surprised.

B&B: Price is about $950 for the cat-back system plus the race pipe.

Third, Street-legal systems with cat. If the info isn't there, I didn't find it. If anyone has any more info on an exhaust system for the RX-8 please e-mail me at bob@bobclevenger.com and I will add it to this post. That way we keep all the exhaust info in one place.
