Important
Note
- the images (line drawings) shown are a representation of
the shape of the catalytic converter(s) for this vehicle. The end
terminations (flanges and straight pipes) are illustrated
accurately but the silencers and heat shielding will most likely
be different from the original BMW factory part. If you want
something that looks EXACTLY like the factory converter, the
original BMW part (with a 1 year warranty, excluding hardware
& gaskets) can be purchased through your local dealer for
$1,765.00 (plus core), less any dealer discounts.
Fitment - DEC catalytic
converters are engineered and built to be "direct fit"
replacements of the factory units. Occasionally, some of the longer catalytic
converters (eg, 5-6' in length...BMW E36 3 series, E39 5 series,
etc) may become "tweeked" in transit through rough
handling. A 1/4" movement at one end can result in a
3/4" to 1" fitment/alignment issue at the other end.
Should this occur, a steel prybar can be used to force the
head-pipes into alignment with the manifolds and the back end can
be pulled (plenty of leverage here) to align with the muffler. If
any damage were to occur to the cat during this process, it will
be covered as part of the factory warranty.
In the event that a
fitment problem is not correctable with reasonable force, please
contact me for further recommendations and action.
