There is a bad cat code. Catalyst inefficient or something of that nature. There's a few tricks to get around it, or just replace it.

Bank one is the side where cylinder one is. Right side.

Purchase Schnitzer sport 'cats'! They are about 200euros! May be less!

cuban_bmwx5 04-02-2016 10:58 AM

$200 Euros so like $350 Canadian or maybe more our dollar is pretty low lol.. where can i find this cats?

gatojurko 04-02-2016 11:20 AM

I like shop Schmiedmann - Styling/Tuning/Spare parts for BMW - New parts
That shop looks like has everything! I think that shop is not the cheapest...Why u do not use ebay or google to find something

cuban_bmwx5 04-02-2016 12:00 PM

i do but ebay is not the best choice because of shipping they charge alot .. i use to go to ECS Tuning but now snice the canadian dollar is so low i dont really order anything there anymore.. i try to look around here now but not many canadian sites that sell bmw parts :(

gatojurko 04-02-2016 01:41 PM

Schmiedmann - Search - New parts - page 1

I told u that u could done it almost for free... just find good pipes and a man who can stick them together and that's it!

cuban_bmwx5 04-02-2016 01:51 PM

well i was already quoted but 2 Shops i asked 1 shop said $500 to $650.. another place told me $450 for the H-pipe so thats why i wanted to see if i find the hpipe all they really gotta do is labor and whatever extra pipe the need to add to the hpipe

cuban_bmwx5 04-02-2016 01:52 PM
