Emmisions equipment is warranted to 100K miles (IIRC). The Gummint makes 'em!

Say NO to cats.

It's actually 80,000 miles. But close.

^You are probably correct - I would check the warranty info in the owners manual 'just to be sure'.

my cat seemed to have disappeared...

t24u

Yeah, mine did on my RX-7 too. Weird.

Da P-Funk!

Mine is still there.

Does it make any noticable difference in power if you get rid of the pre-cat, and will that cause a CEL?

Da P-Funk!

Yes and yes.
People have had successs with the MIL eliminator (wire a resistor and a capacitor to the O2 sensor wire). It does generate a CEL after thousands of miles sometimes ('no change in in O2 sensor reading') but one could just clear the code using a reader or AutoZone or disco the battery...

The other more permanent fix is to get a 'tee' for the O2 sensors. Search for more info.
