Yes I have many detailed pics of the Euro pipe already,
When I take my US pipe off I intend to finish the photoshoot in comparing them together side by side,

Also took a lot of photo's of the inside of the pipe to see the cat cell count and see if it looks different to the US pipe (doubt it)

But borrowing pics from the guy who started this whole thing, Pal from Bimmerfest,
You can see pretty much how its done,

But is it true what Pokey said about the ECU telling the OBD2 reader that my secondary O2 sensors we're turned off; and in turn, that would fail me on the spot, regardless of whether or not my car would pass the sniffer?
That's more of what I wanted to find out.

Doh! Forgot about those - just didn't bookmark the threads but I remember seeing them. It's a pretty good write up. I think I recall crfine88 use a different, end-on style adapter as compared to the 90-degree. Wonder if there is any difference in function? Still curious to see how the euro pipe compares for curiosity sake. Will be watching for your pics

I don't think there would be any difference,
The OEM Euro pipe looks more like Pals

Nice! did you really notice a jump in feel? Did you just bolt these up to the stock section one? did you get an ESS tune for this or what? Thanks
