I'm wanting to get my taken care of, Who has em?

What is the consensus out there?

No tripe about the environment, I'm concerned with speed and MPG, if I cared about the environment I'd drive a Prius:nono

I got two magnaflows on there. In all honesty, it doesn't affect my system from what I can tell. German emission laws are strict so I have to have them on there. They are doing a new "Umwelt Freundlich" thing have a red yellow or green sticker in your windshield, you get fined if you drive in a city with red this year, yellow the next, and its trying to get everyone green. Amazingly the 850 can reach the green status XD

You can do it without a check engine light but really you would probably only gain like maybe at most ten horsepower but have a much better sound.

i pulled two entire cats out of my exhaust with mesh fur and all.
left the o2 sensors in so she won't complain.
i have a second set of cats just in case

Yeah on my E36, I never had a check engine light, I don't know what that shop did, but is there anything special I need to do to avoid the light or will it just not light up?

you most likely will have to make sure that the o2 sensors are still connected
either to a hollowed out cat canister or bolted to the remaining exhaust pipe
