CSL cats 200 cell

[martin770]

I'm after some csl cats for my track project I have a back box so thought it would be nice to have the full exhaust
Can collect within 50 mile radius of Southampton

ive got a set of Larini cats you can have for £250, been on my CSL gor two years but just switched back whilst exhaust was off.

I'm in Herts

Can post easy enough if you want (to pay) :)

They are cheap as the brackets etc are not brilliant but pipes, flanges and cats are 100% ok. Was gonna save them for an e46 race car but could be a few years off.

Ok shimmy will give it some thought

Cool, not advertised them yet (although sold a set of AP brakes today to an M3 owner who wanted them)

M3 cats are 200cell, european cars , the CSL cat was a bit lighter but still a 200cell cat that's why it had a different part number, the yanks had the 400 cell cats on there M3s because of there strict EM laws, that's why they did not get the CSL

Yanks have cats in the manifolds too, that's why they buy the European manifolds.

I'm certain the standard m3 cats are not 200 cell though.

from what I can discern from research the normal M3 is a 200 cell CAT.

the CSL cat casing was a little lighter hence the different part number. US cars have the 400 CELL equivalent due to stricter emissions, which is why the CSL never made it out there.

all the US lot buy the Euro spec 200 CATs from ebay. its a big discussion on cutters as they have all been looking for cheapo 100 cell ones (which do not exist). either keep OEM or go full decat....which is what I said to them ages ago (keep OEM CATS for MOT swap time)

snippet from a 20 page document on BMW tech spec. shows 200 CELL cat confirmation in the left hand side column for the E46 M3 exhaust system/CAT (low number of cells = 200).

[shimmy]

why do you say 100 cell cats do not exis?

[Das Chin]

no I meant for the money that the cutters want to pay for them ;-)

the fleabay ones they buy are 15mm too short :hahaha:

[shane@mbtech]

That's why the supersprint cats are a waste of money.
Silly money

[Das Chin]

agreed. Gut some used oem cats off ebay, making them a de cat, get a re map to sort out the issues with fuelling/flat spots and you are away. Nice gain then and will fly through the revs.
