Which Cat to use with Tony DP?
 

So I've ordered my Tony DP and am planning on a 2.5" Catback exhaust (I'll probably try to build one, then give up and buy an Enthuza) and I'm trying to figure out what catalytic converter to use. If I understand correctly, the Tony pipe is 2.5" at the flange, so I need a 2.5" - 2.5" catalytic converter. I checked with FM and their 1.6 Cat is 2" in, 2.5" out. I can't find data on the JR or any other, but I'm assuming they are the same.

I know I could just have a muffler shop fabricate something, but I'm hoping to find a unit ready-made, with good quality bends, etc. What are the rest of you lucky folks using with your Tony pipes?

hey joe , I can also make you cat that will fit my downpipes.

I just got your downpipe and I also am wondering about a 2.5 - 2.5 cat. They are available on e-bay cheap,but they all have the pipe w/o flanges. If you can come up with a cat with proper flanges and angles and at a decent price, I will be a buyer.

racing mazda has one

2.5" Diameter
$140.00

I think braineack carries CATs talk to him, great guy. Im sure hell help you out if he can.

Yea, I know Ric at Racing Mazda says he has cats. But just try to get it sent to you. I had to make a complaint to Visa to get my $715.00 back after he ignored my request to send the injectors and cat which I ordered along with his downpipe. I knew he did not yet have any downpipes, but several calls and messages left to send the rest of the order were ignored. Giving my money back freely was aparently never going to happen.
Iam glad that Tony is taking up the slack and filling a need for GReddy owners. Now if I can get the cat too I'll be on my way to Flying Miata for the injectors.

i think tony said he could hook us up with some 2.5'' in/out high flow cats

How much? I may be in too.

I can do a 2.5 cat with flanges for $115 shipped in the lower 48 states

he Wheel Magic what injectors do you need ,we sell injectors also.

thanks for the plug joe . your dp & cat will be ready to ship tomarrow .
thanks tony

rrr tony i think im gonna have to place another order even tho you shipped my dp today

after a month RM hasnt replied to my multiple e-mails

Hey Tony, is there any chance you will make a complete exhaust system in the near future? I in the process of turboing my Miata and your DP and cat are a great deal but I still need cat-back.

Thanks,

Trey

ready when you are BrokeEnthusiast.
Hey Trey I have had many coustomers ask me that over the years . Its just hard to determine what a coustomer wants. Let me ask you guys this what type of muffler would want & would it be a single or dual outlet. what type of exhaust tips would be apealing? I would also need someone locally for r&d work.I have a few ideas i would like to try but I still need a car, ant ideas guys

Tony, do you still want my old exhaust system? We're fabbing my custom up next week using the Magnaflow muffler and cat. I'll post pics of the work in progress and finished pics!

My personal preference is a single outlet. From what I can tell from seeing other people's cars I think this is the most popular format. As for the type of muffler I don't know but I'm sure someone more knowledgable than me can suggest some.

I used one from FM did not fit well had to inlarge all the bolt holes etc...

hey firedog if you can send me everything accept the muffler. just cut it off at the welds & send the tail pipe & all the pieces leading to the muffler thanks. what if I made the piping section & you all can choose your own muffler. do you think that will work.

You got it. Uhm, could you e-mail me your address? I don't think I have the paperwork from the downpipe...

Also, I'll send you my old downpipe so you can reference the bung on that one if you like. I'll need the old downpipe back, but you can keep/trash/make a bong with the old exhaust tubing. OH! And if you want to make an exhaust like Enthusa and the others do (with muffler), I have a great place to buy crap like that from. I bought two cats (one for my friend) and a muffler for about $170 or so shipped! I sourced the flanges and tubing elsewhere and it turns out the tubing is a wee bit heftier than necessary (0.065"). Meh, at least it'll last. It's 304 stainless, unpolished and I got 5' of it for about $45.

damn that is a cheap price for 304 stainless.send me the links for those parts. i'm sending you my address right now.

tony you can go ahead and start making me a cat, Im going to send you the money tomorrow, its getting late and i have to work in the morning

you've got it,now you have to change that RM cat to tony 2.5 cat

Tony is the man. Great service and quality stuff, plus he likes my money :) lol
who is RM???

PS tony my DP arrived at my house like 5 mins ago!!!

RM = Racing Mazda- a shop that seems to have a decent selection, but apparently has issues actually shipping things. No first-hand experiance, just what I've heard.

You lucky bastard. :bigtu: According to UPS, my DP and CAT are somewhere west of Mesquite, TX at the moment. Should be here Wednesday. Heck, Tony shipped the things within about three days, and that's including the custom work I had him do on the DP (add flex section, remove O2 bung) plus the cat that he had to buy and then fabricate pipes for. Talk about service!

haha yeah i know who racing mazda is, i was tring to be funny..

Sorry 'bout that. I spent all day crouched down on the floor installing my EMU, so I think fatigue has dampened my humor receptors somewhat. Now that I think about it, your sig used to have "Racing Mazda Cat" in it, right? I see that's changed.

I still stand by the You lucky bastard part though. :cool:

yeah i contacted RM for about a month and a half sending multiple e-mails and i still havent gotten one returned. So i just said F it, tonys is cheaper, i will get it faster, and it is most likely the same or better quality.
