So I just got a CEL on my 2.5L Gen2 hatch and Mazda quoted me $1500 to replace the cat. I did a bit of research and found this https://www.carid.com/2010-mazda-3-e...-98136520.html
Curious if anyone's tried these out and if they help throw out some more power? Also, if anyone's selling a used headers+cat combo, hit me up?
In all honesty, its a cat. Any muffler man will throw in a universal for around $100. They don't really do anything special. Unless your looking sound specific, I don't see the sense in spending the money. Most out last the vehicle. Odd one fails.

I have the same problem,year, and model. I haven't fixed it but I would clean the O2 sensor first if that doesn't work get new ones. The cat shouldn't be going out at all.
Cant cut the cat without effecting the exhaust manifold.Quote:

Your converter is cheaper to replace then the following year the most I've seen is 380 for a new one on rock auto.Quote:

how many km on your car? It might still be eligible for emissions warranty coverage
nah not a chance. Its done almost 217k kms.
Do you have emissions testing in your province? If so do you know if they do the tail pipe test or OBD2 test?Quote:
