i got magnaflow 46000 carb compliant rounds and they fit on my w202. two of them side by side. took up just about the same space as OEM ones did

did i mess up by buying non carb compliant..? i noticed it doesnt have the little hole where the o2 sensor goes. all i know is my stock ones are gone so i ordered magnaflow it sounded like it would give me better mpg's performance, sound, ect.. not to mention massive price difference. regular price is about $232 i got mine for $79 a piece

You'll have to see if you can find dummy sensors. If you don't have an o2 sensor hooked up, you'll get a CEL and won't pass emissions.

I hear they inspect to make sure you have o2 senors in CA. So, might be screwed either way?

yeah they normally want to see cats and o2 sensors but i know on my I6 that the rear o2 sensor is behind the cats in the y pipe the front o2 sensor is obviously pre-cat so no worries there. I did however install with a 90 degree o2 sensor adapter

thats what i figured its on the pipe and it only takes one o2 sensor as opposed to two on each converter
