I got my cats for $200 installed, each side including cats. They've been on for at least 3yrs w/o a single issue. DO NOT waste your money on brand new cats....you can replace them 5x over if you get the Magnaflows and they flow better than stock anyways.

My X5's sluggish performance and bucking was from vacuum leaks and mass air flow sensor not reading correctly. My valley pan was leaking coolant as well, and coolant was also leaking out the hose from upper radiator neck to expansion tank. Whew....glad I got my answers, thanks for all you guys input. Not cheap to fix all the above, but am in the process of getting them all done.
