Built for the rotary, the Redback C2809 is a manifold catalytic converter listed to fit the Mazda RX-8 from 2003 — the integrated manifold-and-converter section that takes exhaust gas straight off the engine.

What does the RX-8 manifold-cat do?

The RX-8's 13B rotary runs hot exhaust gas, and this unit forms the first section of the system: the manifold off the engine with the catalytic converter built into the same assembly. When the original tires or cracks — a known wear point on hard-driven rotaries — replacing the whole C2809 renews both the manifold and the converter in one go. Redback publishes no bore or material for it, so we quote neither.

Will it suit my Mazda RX-8?

It's listed to fit the Mazda RX-8 from 2003. The supplier doesn't publish the series for this listing, so we treat it as listed-to-fit and confirm against your VIN before ordering — worth doing on a rotary, where the exhaust packaging is specific to the car.

Is it road legal?

This is the catalytic-converter assembly, so fitting it keeps the RX-8's emissions hardware in place rather than removing it. Whether it passes inspection still depends on the condition of the full system, which we look over on the hoist. We make no compliance claim the supplier hasn't stated.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits RX-8 manifold-cats in-house across the Illawarra. We confirm the listing against your VIN, free the old unit off the engine, fit fresh gaskets, and check sensor function and the downstream join. RRP is listed at 635 AUD; fitting is quoted on inspection.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.
