Hi\'
Here is one more, have owned the car for some 15months now, still goes well, only problem the cat failed and produced the warning light, Mazda replaced it.
Has any one got any info on the performance / fuel economy if the cat is removed,have been told would greatly inprove both?

I think performance would be better, however it isn\'t legal of course to remove it.  You could look at getting a high flow cat.

A number of people have changed the exhaust system on theirs (to after market etc.) and gained power.

As for fuel economy, I don\'t think it would be that noticable - as you would be putting your foot down more if is was faster :)  I certainly haven\'t heard that myself.
