there isn't one. a muffler shop will put it on, but if you have emissions still you won't pass nessisarily.

There is no cat. You need a connecting pipe between the pre-silencer and muffler input pipe. I know mazdatrix sells them.

As far as whether a shop will install it for you, I don't know. Since you're not putting a cat on, you may have trouble. There's lots of people from texas on the forum. I'd suggest contacting one of them.

I recently bought the regular RB exhaust. Not the road race exhaust. No exhaust place would make me a custom connecting pipe for presilencer to muffler because my car has no cat and that's illegal here in Oklahoma. You probably won't pass emmisions if you have them, but I don't have testing here. My car will be classic next year anyways so the rules change drastically.

Aaron, you could go the route to puzzle-piece it; buying each part separately. Then, unbolt the presilencer sections to swap out a cat-converter for inspection time, only.

I swap out my entire exhaust system for inspection time; using the stock exhaust manifold and a custom mid-section with a cat-converter welded in. It's not that difficult to swap back and forth, really.
