Just wanted to pass along a good place to buy these from. Performance Peddler (http://search.stores.ebay.com/search/search.dll?st=2&fp=0&colorid=0&store=Performance+Peddler&sid=10179333&srchdesc=y&query=94005&submit0=Search) on eBay sells them for 57.69 (each) shipped.

I have seen slightly better prices elsewhere but the thing that really impressed me was that I ordered them last Saturday morning and paid immediately. I had a tracking number sent to me less than three hours later and they arrived Wednesday. The seller even took the time to leave feedback - which it seems is beneath 99% of the sellers on ebay these days.

The other thing I liked which had nothing to do with the seller is that Magnaflow puts a nice big OBDII compatible sticker on the box - I can't see how a cat wouldn't be compatible but it does at least make me feel a little bit at ease about putting a part on that costs 5% of the one BMW says I need to use.

Now I just need to find a welding artiste to get them on the car.

Would you have any idea what kind of increase hp or torque over the oem cats?

No idea - but if you'll send me your G-Tech, I'll take before and after runs to check it out :D If I hadn't just bought the MkIV drive I might actually be able to convince my wife I need to buy a G-Tech but I think it'll have to wait a month or so before trying that one out on her. We'll have to see what the butt dyno detects.

Thanks for the encouragment :stickoutt Remit payment to 123 Justuwaitand C, Kannapolis, NC, 28083

Not like its a big investment though- how do all the 5er's get away with performance cats? any idea what they run?

Good question - when I had searched over there to see what they do it was like looking into a black hole. They talk about exhausts a lot but they all seem to ignore the cats.

I had a 1998 540i 6spd right before this 740il. I ran Magnaflows, resonator delete, and REMUS. Best sounding car ever.

I am doing 53005's and REMUS on my 740il. I expect similar results.

??Have you ever really looked into a black hole? :nono

I have had my Remus installed for about 1K miles but it has already gotten a little louder which is fine. I really hope that settles there but it does have a nice deep tone. I am very pleased overall. :buttrock

I had IPD's or TME dual exhaust from Swedon on my '98 Volvo R turbo - took it off and went back to stock. It sounded terrible and had a very annoying droning at most high way speeds. :(

Mr.bear how did you get that paticular catalytic converter on your car, it has no o2 sensors.
