Important fitment information
Important: 200 CPI sports catalyst. Only fits the listed 1997–98 NA 1.6/1.8 applications with the 470mm cat. Excludes earlier 1.6 applications and the turbo variant. Check cat length before ordering; K-Type coverage spans wider production years.
This 200-cell sports-cat section replaces the original catalyst section while retaining catalytic treatment.
Made from 2.5″ stainless steel this pipe is 470mm long, Mazda changed the length of the cat around 1997 so make sure you have the 470mm version and not the 440mm or 370mm from one of the earlier cars.

Developed for the Mazda MX-5 NA
The original MX-5 is defined by low weight, direct controls and a responsive
naturally aspirated engine. Exhaust upgrades for the NA should complement that
character with clean response and an engaging tone without masking the car’s
simplicity. Check the product-specific engine, model-year and fitment details above,
as 1.6 and 1.8-litre applications are not always interchangeable.
