Status Gruppe catted section 1 - Anyone running one?

[TrackRat951]

Hoping to get some reviews from anyone running an SG catted section 1. Dyno results would be awesome. I'm also open to other recommendations for a catted section 1.

Dyno results?

It's just a sect 1. It's not oversized afaik (2.5") though it might be slightly larger than stock. Cats will rob a tiny bit of power. Theoretically, it will make less power than stock which is straight pipes. You couldn't measure the difference between a stock and sgt sect 1 anyway.

I would recommend euro cats. Highest quality, perfect fit. SGT is a numbnutz who buys cheap shit, slaps his name on it, and resells it to unwitting enthusiasts or a profit, providing horrible service along the way.

Appreciate the input. Sounds like they're still crap.

Are these legit? https://www.bmwpartsnow.com/oem-part...er-18107832909

Sorry, looks like those don't include the cats. Just trying to figure out if there's a way to buy a new euro section 1.

Your best bet is probably to get a used one. New ones seem to be close to $2k and at that point I would just go for the 2.5" catted SuperSprint section 1.
