I have rattling cats. I am in CA. Cannot locate an aftermarket cat that is approved for my 1999 E55. This sucks.. I cannot pay $3000.00 for new ones from a dealer. Does anybody have a good solution? I just passed smog last month. The problem is the annoying rattle.
New CA laws for Cats. What do we do now?

Get on the horn to the dealer NOW; MB extended the warranty on the AMG cats.
If push comes to shove you can order the cats from duval at a discount, a few hours in the driveway and you're done with the replacement.
Take care and enjoy the ride,
Greg

if you are referring to this notice, w210 E55s are not on the list. Do you have different information?

I was hanging out with Joe55 and he showed me his letter. Regular 210 owners are left to twist in the wind, but the AMG folks get special treatment...as usual. 
Have a question...call the dealer. Particularly for the OP time's a wastin', I think it's ten years, unlimited mileage.

Who is duval??
Then your dealer is a liar.
The minimum as required by federal law is eight years or 80,000 miles. MBUSA extended this to ten years/100K miles for the AMG variants. Call another dealer. Call MBUSA and report these bums, too.
Duval is the MB dealer back in Florida that sells parts for a discount. Even with shipping it was cheaper than any dealer in the bay area. www.duvalmotorcars.com
I have a 1999 and it's about 86,000. I wish you had some documentation that I could refer them to. Thanks for the Duval info.Then your dealer is a liar.

Do you know your in-service date? If it was before today in '99 then it's not going to matter unless you find a sympathetic dealer who will work with you through the process.
Call MBUSA, man. They will give you the straight dope.

Please:bowdown: I need the letter
Do you have shop that will dot it? CA somg rules changed this year and we can't do the Hi-flow cats anymore. Or else I would do it for sure the Armenian way!
So you called a dealer and you called duval.
Did you call MBUSA?
Did you call MBUSA?
Just Called Customer Service MBUSA like you said. They say for CA 7 year 70,000 is all there is. No such thing as a 10 year. Do you have any proof? or contact person?:crybaby2:
