Yeah, the more money the equipment costs ....the smarter the operator is?.....


FWIW- if a car has been running rich, the cat can become loaded with HCs. not 'clogged', more like fouled. Fixing the AFR issues can restore function. But im sure that $18k scanner would know all this. and should know that magnaflow makes NYS legal replacements for many BMWs, they are just thinner and have a shorter service life. Especially if the underlying issue isnt fixed.


Id buy a used one from a friend on the down low. They should last 200-300k if the car is running right.


And 900 for a magnaflow vs 1100 for BMW, its a no brainer- BMW
