Can I run a hf cat, cat back, and downpipe without chipping the ecu safely?

That is why I specifically mentioned rotary engined vehicles but feel free to change the subject.

I'm having more moments with you because I'm growing tired of what I perceive as a abrasive demeanor. I see no need to tiptoe around but there is no need to constantly belittle people either, you seem to pull out the big guns anytime someone does as much as a typo. You just can't help yourself I know, now I can't help myself either.

Fine, just as long as you know what you're getting yourself into.

Thanks,

There’s an article on rotaries and catalytic converters in the current issue of Mazdasport Magazine. It’s possible to destroy a cat on a dyno, but it’s pretty obvious the cat is being cooked. If the cat sees too much fuel the washcoat, which is typically at it’s heat limit in normal WOT conditions on a rotary, will overheat and the catalyst material will burn out. This is more easily done on an NA, because turbo(s) act as a heatsink. If a rotary runs rich, it may be best to view a good high flow cat as a normal wear item.
