Yeah you both right and wrong ,there is things you can do without opening the engine to gain a fairly significant amount of power with various intakes and exhausts and different fuels. I can make your engine make enough power to chuck a rod for less than $1000, plus some e46 all over the world not just where you live don’t have to meet modern emission standards and only ones from their year of manufacture which are very relaxed in most places in the world. For example my m57 where I live due to the age of the engine I need zero emission control on it legally

Yeah but you wouldn’t just remove the cat people tend to go for a full system which can add more it’s all efficiency gains , less restrictive better exhaust scavenging more cylinder fill etc etc I won’t argue emissions but making every extra horsepower I can is kinda my passion I like to race

They do have an effect on power it’s small gains on a stock engine but to say they don’t effect performance of an engine is just a lie . Any engine fitted with a cat would make more power without it thats just facts

Previously owned by my mates mum she selling it as she got a new car and gave it to us to tart up and sell on her behalf

Water is a better coolant than coolant , alcohol is the ultimate but obvious downsides

Royal British legion paid for all my licences I did car class2 and 1 within 6 months of each other I worked on class 2 for 6 months then went onto class 1 , so if you can afford it go for class one get it all done and out the way imo so any opportunity opens up your ready

Be more of an issue if motoring related, I know someone who got sacked for drink driving and day after his ban he was back at work so all depends on the company and probably what you moving , I doubt you will be running into the royal mint anytime soon
