2001 E430 Sport Front Catalytic Converter
My CEL light came on and the shop said it's my front passenger catalytic converter. I've researched cats here and found that people have success with the Magnaflow 53005. However, I'm not clear if this will work on the front/primary or only the secondary? Can someone help me out?
Thanks,
Bob

You mean the pre-cats? The Magnaflow 53005 is a full size cat, the pre-cats are pretty tiny right? If I where you I'd have a shop take them off, there's no harm done, it sounds better and you'll still pass emissions.

The advantage of a direct fit assembly is that it's a pretty easy diy. Fred

Yes it is good
if as above stated it is the big cats under the middle of the car that are rattling like a can of rocks. Eastern cats google them or racepages.com are also good universal cats unless as stated you live in Ca.
In that case magnaflow has production ready in about 10 weeks CARB calif approved splice in cat for the secondary cat application. No prices avail yet.
