My point above was that the Euro/CSL cats appear to be longer and thus have a longer section of material for the exhaust gasses to pass through, vs. the Supersprint, Magnaflow, and other aftermarket hi-flo cats.
Great answer Norm!

That's correct, the difference in weight is not that much, about 3 pounds...

I would say we do have the answer with the official BMW/ArvinMeritor document stating 200 cell. Also, to get a fully accurate reading instead of using a 1x1" square cut someone will have to lay a piece of string 1" long so it follows the pattern of spiral cells.
