RM downpipe - what cat fits? Built on Pitlabs car incase you missed it 1000 times ago
I heard that when using the RM DP with the greddy kit, that the stock cat converter won't bolt up due to a flange issue?
I've got a cat delete pipe, but need to get a new cat anyway in order to pass emissions. Is there a bolt up cat that will work? I know I could have XYZ welded up, but that's not my preference. I'm weird about mechanics touching my cars... |
When he made my system ,the greddy kit I bought 2nd hand came with the racing mazda downpipe. I oreded both the "test pipe" and the cat convertor from him when I ordered my exhaust from him,incase I needed it (I live in a non emmision county here in GA.... for now).

lucky bastard. i could throw a stone and hit winder...
my emissions are due in august. :td: |
I'm going to ride it ut as long as I can too :)
Back on topic....... The other suggestion would be to try another source for the cat. I have the cat and if you find somebody here in the north GA area I would be more then happy to bring it to him to see what he could do...... |
I have a spare cat that I bought to use for the same reason. I took out my test pipe and the cat bolted right in with no problem. On, pass, off in all of about 30 mins. It’s a brand new OEM cat by the way.
I was actually thinking about trying and setting up sending the cat around the US to those that needed it for emissions to help out and make a little green here and there. I figured, instead of someone having to do what I did, I could just ship it at that persons cost and get myself paypal'd maybe $10 and just keep circulating it.:bigtu: Vash- |
I like your cat-whoring idea.

I have the RM DP and it bolts to the stock cat just fine!

that just leaves getting hold of a used cat... |
I ordered my Dp with a flange to fit a 2.5-3" flange. It wont fit the stock cat. Ric made these to customer specs. I see you going to the local muffler shop weather you like it or not. Just buy yourself a universal catalytic that will fit the pipe size you want and have them flange it up and install it for you, you could even have a flex joint installed at the same time to help you with the rest of the exhaust. I dont understand the phobia, but it really is a small job you are asking them to do, really.

where can you order this racing mazda downpipe?
i contacted begi and they arent selling right now, and i havent heard back from turbo tony. so i'm having a hell of a time. |
no help?
|
|
I think BEGi might be selling them again,best to call to make sure.
BTW AJ,the turbo will need to come out to install the bigger downpipe. |
the RM was originally set up on my car to fit the stock cat via a slotted flange.
I am not sure if ric eventually changed that in the actually production run |
