If you're looking to boost your ride’s performance and keep things clean under the hood, this Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter from MagnaFlow is a solid choice. I’ve had my hands on a few of these, and they really do deliver. Designed specifically for your BMW, this converter fits right in without any fuss—just bolt it on and you’re good to go.
One thing I really appreciate is how it’s built to meet California’s strict emissions standards. So if you’re in the Golden State, you can rest easy knowing it’s CARB compliant. Plus, it’s got a stainless steel finish that not only looks good but also stands up to the elements, reducing the chance of rust or corrosion over time.
Now, let’s talk about the specs. This baby has a 2.5-inch main piping diameter, which means it’s got the flow you need for those spirited drives. And with the oxygen sensors positioned both pre and post converter, you won’t have to worry about that pesky Check Engine Light ruining your day. It’s all about keeping your ride running smoothly.
Oh, and they include a clamp and gasket, which is a nice touch. Just make sure you have the right tools handy, because this isn’t a DIY job for the faint of heart. And a heads up—this is strictly for racing competition. If you’re thinking about hitting the streets, you’ll need to look elsewhere and sign a compliance waiver.
Whether you're working on a 318i, 318is, or 318ti from '96 to '99, this catalytic converter is a great way to keep your exhaust system in check. So, if you're serious about performance and compliance, this MagnaFlow option should definitely be on your radar.
