Catalytic Converters...

[evil_twin]

Anybody know of a 2.5" catalytic converter that will allow my e30 to pass on emissions? Some of these highflow cats I am weary of paying so cheap.

Thanks.

Magna Flow has a freaking nice bolt on kit. I searched for ever to find something like this. Im talking hours on end.

part number is 23554

and just for reference here is a place that is selling it cheap (msrp is like $800+) but it can be had for under $300.

I just bought one of these and I passed emissions without any problems it's 2.25" but I'm sure he has a 2.5".

hmmm, well Torqueflight, I'm not running the stock exhaust... I am going to have something welded up for me, so I am looking for something like what 318INPROGRESS has. But thank you for your input.

I have been using the cheap "universal" cats for years, no emissions issues at all.

put flanges on it. so you can unbolt it after inspection and put in a test pipe... makes it easier i think.

Magnaflow Hi Flow. Had it welded up for $165 out the door. Passed smog and had a good power diff.

I have a universal magnaflow 2.5 converter and passed MD emissions with my cammed 2.7i with long tube headers.
