Cat for M60
One of the cats in my 94 530i started leaking......have found new aftermarket shipped for $350.00. Anyone else purchase one lately...opinions.
Thanks

remove it, cut open from top (floorpan up side), gut
the insides, weld it back up, reinstall.

why cut it open...........
all you need is a 3 foot long screw driver & a hook shaped item.
at least that is what i heard is the easiest & does not make any outer marks.
i know where i live they only do visual inspections.

On some mercedes ones that are real pricey I have welded up
patches out of sheet metal if thats all it is is a leak.. such as at a seam, If its really starting to rot away then you would be better of getting another.. I haven't put any on a bmw yet but have had no trouble with the aftermarket on other cars. Even the cheapo 80 dollar ones that i put on a lot of trucks seem to do the job just fine.. may not last as long as the original did though.

Cost me around $60 each plus another 50 for installation.
