    M42 Cat Inlet/Outlet Diameter

    I'm looking at giving my exhaust system a little over-haul, new cat, new muffler, and hopefully new piping. Found the parts I want, but the cat's inlet/outlet diameter concerns me.

    All the aftermarket cats for a 1991 318is are showing a 2" inlet and outlet even though our systems are 2.25". My question is what size is the stock cat's inlet/outlet?

    Why would it be smaller than the rest of the piping?

    And, would this hurt performance?

    it just has me baffled, and I don't want to buy a cat that will hurt performance compared to the stock one.

      That makes total sense, I don't see why all aftermarket companies think it's 2"....
