So Quick to diagnose waste gate rattle turns out to be exhaust no one wont's to help!

I had a stonny tinny rattle coming from my exhaust on a 2007 bmw 335i convertible I done a post every one was so sure it was my waste gate ratterling, after watching videos about it on Internet I thought myn sounds nothing like that, booked it in and has been confirmed that it's the front primary cats have shattered, I put a recent post up looking for help from any one who had changed there cats for sports cat or de cat or if any one who previously posted could help me I'm looking to buy some but I carnt find any in U.K. today iv called 13+ tuning company's all in this country no one can help if any one can help on here that would be great thanks

There are people running catless here...I can't remember which ones are best fit for RHD though.

If trying to source from here with fairly quick turnaround then look at Wagner Tuning for excellent quality decatted DP's.

Cheaper decat DP's are VRSF or AR but are from the States.

Otherwise there are the likes of AR for catted ones but you need to order from the States.

I have AR Catted ones at the mo.

Well surely they've already removed them to diganose the problem?

Smashing the core out wont take long, especially if its already broken up, then just refit them and away you go.
