Description
Free flowing for better performance yet $300 less than stock! This converter is somewhat louder than an OEM converter and it`s perfect for Miatas with turbochargers! The same stainless steel flanges used on our exhausts are also used on the cats. 5 yr/50,000 mile limited warranty on the body and flanges, 25,000 mile warranty on the converter internals (its ability to pass an emissions test). Comes with gaskets and bolts.
Works with all exhausts that follow the stock flange locations, orientations, and sizes - which is most but not all. The cat is a 300-cell ceramic unit.
As with all of our catalytic converters, this cat is emissions-certified. Specifically, it's EPA-approved for this application. Please note that these are not CARB legal and we cannot ship them to California. They're also not legal in states requiring CARB cats. Specifically, they're illegal in California and Colorado for 1990-1993. They're also illegal in New York, but only for 1993 (legal in NY for 1990-1992). They're currently legal in all other states, although laws change frequently and it's best to check with your state if you're unsure.

Installed on my completely stock 1990 California-spec car without issues; exactly the same size and shape as the original cat (but much, much shinier). Welds looked pretty clean and the gaskets are high-quality. The stock cat uses all identical hardware, but the bolts provided with this cat are two different sizes (smaller bolts for the smaller flange) and required three different sizes of socket to install; a little bizarre but not a real issue.
The sound is an improvement over stock. It's the equivalent of turning the volume knob up a little bit and nudging the bass equalizer up a smidge: not a drastically different sound from stock, just pumped up and given a little bite. Still the kind of sound that makes you think "that's a little red sports car."
There might be some more horsepower from the decreased back pressure, but my butt dyno doesn't feel it.
This cat puts a great note into the exhaust and really frees up the flow.
Great piece and super easy to install. Very well made too. Would buy again.
Carb legal cars cost double this and I decided to run the flyin miata one anyways. No idea if it’s because of my ‘93 being from california but the FM cat was over an inch too short and requires adjustment to the exhaust system to pull it forward. I only had to pull it but if you have an aftermarket exhaust that is already adjusting your rubber hangers, it might be a problem to fit this in. I found no information anywhere else on this problem so it could be just me as well.
