Cat

[88e30is]

Where can I find this cat? Part #11761716743 For an 88 325i

[E30Driv3R]

Stealership, BMA, i am sure a few other places.

Junkyards are good, but some won't sell them because it is illegal to sell used in some states (or all). One option you have is to just get a high flow aftermarket one. It would be a lot cheaper than a new stock one.

[xLibelle]

i think bavauto has an economical oem option for exhausts

[E30Driv3R]

i have a hi-flow magnaflow cat, got it from summit racing... sounds good, kinda raspy tho, but what u expect for a 318

[88e30is]

I have a 325i not a 318

[88e30is]

BMW wants $1350.00.

[moatilliatta]

thats the most expensive part on the car.

+1.... Last time i put a cat on one of my cars, i bought a high flow one from catco.Then 6 months later i took it off and said screw it. I don't like cats on any of my cars. But if you want a cat, do like Mike325 said and get a aftermarket cat.

i know, it is a universal and it was ~$85

[88e30is]

Eh, I dont want universal. I want what was made for my car. I just want it to sound decent and run right and not be ghetto rigged.

[PeaveyBassist]

Then youll have to spend the $1400 on that cat.

[88e30is]

Eh....

a universal cat will be less restrictive, cheaper, and lighter. I don't see a downside there?

you can also send your old cat to this place:

which will pay for the new one entirely. the E30 counts as "euro large" afaik

[moatilliatta]

and not "ghetto rigged" if you put it in right...
