Which that is my main concern because the sniffer and visual you can just "find a guy" for.

Here's the interesting part, they actually don't recommend this for our cars. Two reasons, they don't provide much performance since the cat itself is massive, and apparently, they're made for V8's? Didn't get exactly what he meant, my boss was walking around while I was on the phone I wasn't paying full attention lol.
Some of this seems odd. They say on their site -

We only use Catalytic Converters made by Magnaflow. The Magnaflow Converters are 49 state legal, OBDI and OBDII EPA Compliant
Quote:
Our "CA OBD2" Version Section 1s feature CA OBD 2 Compliant Catalytic Converters.
So if I buy their standard system, with the correct O2 and EGT bungs welded in I can put on Euro headers and their standard system and be 49 state legal? Odd that the CA version won't pass the sniffer. Also that it is built specifically for the Z4M but they don't recommend it. Looks like I am back to just modifying the stock section 1.
