Description

Essex Rotary can now offer this high quality catalytic converter as an affordable alternative to replacement of your failed OEM Mazda cat. This catalytic converter complies with the latest Catalyst regulations that came into force on the 13th August 2009 and is type approved so meets or exceeds OEM quality for the catalyst.

This Catalytic Converter meets R103 type approval conforming to the new EU Emissions regulations now necessary for RX-8’s to pass the UK MOT test.

Constructed from superior matrix materials to those offered at a much cheaper price our cat will give you many years of trouble free operation and will not illuminate the CEL, We have now installed these on many customers cars and have a long track record of trouble free use.

With some customers even using this units in multiple track days over several years without issue.

This product is priced at a fraction of the price of a genuine Mazda unit (some dealers are asking as much at £1700 for a Mazda OEM unit) Our Essex Rotary Select Catalytic Converter comes with a *2 year Warranty.

Each Catalytic Converter comes with a fitting kit including the following items.

  • Front bolt kit (3 Bolts + 3 Nuts)
  • Front Manifold to catalytic converter gasket
  • Rear Shoulder Locking Bolts (2 special sholder bolts for installation of the rear of the cat to your catback system)
  • Rear Catalytic converter to Catback “Doughnut” Gasket

Our fitting kits do not include rear catalytic converter to catback springs as these are transferable from the original system. Please ensure your car still has the springs installed (as many have been lost of removed over time) These are available separately here

*Please note if you have not addressed the cause of your Cat failure before installing your new Cat, this will cause your new cat to fail prematurely, and in some cases the manufacturer may void the warranty as this is deemed to be consequential damage and not a manufacturing defect.

The primary causes of catalytic converter failure are failed ignition system components, this could be one or a combination of parts such as;

  • Ignition Coils
  • Spark Plugs
  • HT Leads

These components may have failed and caused unburnt fuel to make it way in to your exhaust system in excessive amounts where it it ignited and burns causing excessive hear in the catalyst beyond temperatures that system is designed to deal with.

Please take a look at these Essex Rotary Video’s for further information on cheap catalysts vs OEM and  one way to check if your current Cat has failed.

Cheap cats are cheap for a reason.

A free way (sometimes) to check for a failed cat.

If this product is showing as out of stock, restock supply is usually 2-3 days.
