brennan Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 test pipe, if it won't throw a code. there's typically a way to trick the ecu.and shitty auto stores can order aftermarket ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InyaAzz Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Magnaflows will work. Much cheaper than the stock piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 look around on bimmerforums or any of the multitudes of bmw forums. post up that you need a stock cat, and i'm sure you'll be inundated with people who already swapped out their cats with test pipes of HFC's.

Goldie Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I work for BMW NA, if you are interested in getting the parts from the dealer, I would be happy to see if they could not charge you diag fees, but I can't make any guarantees.

exSRAaron Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) which cat is it? you might be able to run a double fouler (cost 3 bucks each i think) and it'll pretty much run bypass to the ecu Edited February 10, 2009 by exSRAaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Economics Teacher: Bueller?... Bueller?... Bueller? Economics Teacher: Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Simone: Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. Economics Teacher: Thank you, Simone Simone: No problem whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
