Euro Cats?

[OOMPH!]

Where can I source some euro cats for my exhaust?

[BavarianBimmer]

Yes they are about 3 times smaller than our US ones so it helps guys that are fabbing custom exhaust for swaps and such.

It seems like it would be just as benificial to just buy an aftermarket high flowing cat.

Bingo. I must do this pretty soon since I have a state mandated SMOG test in early June and my OEM cat is toast. I didn't think about taking my camera with me to the muffler shop, but the aftermarket cat I plan to have installed is noticably smaller than the stock unit. $200 out the door is what they normally charge for this but I am going to flanges welded in place and then some test pipes fab'd so I can slip those in on track days. My final cost will be ~$300.

with the large universal dual 2" in/dual 2" out that i posted in the "gen tech" forum, i think it would definitely be worth it to install! which one are you thinking of?

umm bullshit!
they are the exact same crap. from M10 to M20 to S14 the euro and U.S. had the same cats.

Mike here are euro cats and they look a hell of a lot different than any US cats I've ever seen. So spread the wealth and ship me over some euro cats! lol

those look like aftermarket cars, theyre too bulky for factory units, bmw likes everything streamline

I've an Euro 2 325i Mtech II and they are much bigger than this believe me

my car was new delivered by BMW dealer Kohl at Aachen with factory cats and EuroII key for tax so they are stock.
I think I can make pics of it if you want

[mtechnik]

yeah that would be a good idea BavarianBimmer

Very true. They are NOT Euro BMW cats. I never said they were BMW cats. They are some Euro Race make that Turner got their hands on. I'll find out tomorrow exactly what they are, and where you can get them. The price I can tell you right now, is $600/per.

Thanks for the clarification bmw332i, you would know best since these are yours. Thanks for the help I really appreciate that!

Sorry Mike, you are right then...haha.

you might as well just get 200 cell race cats off ebay for $37 and go with a custom system from header flange all the way back to exhaust tips.

Supersprint race cats for an e30 m3, wonder if this will work?
