Need to replace exhaust system for emissions, Need some advice

Hey everybody.

Long story short
So my car didn't pass emissions. I want to pass or get a wavier. I take car to DEQ certified Malloy Mazda dealer (please don't flame). The dealer tells me that my car doesn't have the any of the cats. He says its all moddified. So here's the deal, I'm gonna have to replace this stuff to pass emissions. Plus none of the money I spend on this actually goes toward getting an emissions wavier because my car is missing the required equiptment.

What equiptment should I need? (cats, cat-back system)
Any and all advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance
-Max

To cut down on the emissions, here's the minimum you need:

- Primary Catalytic converter - MADE for a rotary engine's heat output
- Air pump
- Air pump tube connected to primary cat
- Tuneup

If you have a good aftermarket system, there should be a presilencer than can be replaced with a catalytic converter.
