CORSA is one of the largest automotive and high-end marine exhaust tuning companies in the USA with engineering and manufacturing facilities in Ohio and a patented, proprietary technology called Reflective Sound Cancellation™ (RSC, for short). CORSA consults to General Motors, Ford and Daimler-Chrysler and carries the title of "official licensed product" on its GM aftermarket exhaust systems.
The result of the CORSA's partnership and extensive research and development on the BMW 3 and 5 Series, is the new dronefree RSC™ exhaust system, delivering a pleasant sound at idle and cruise, and a muscular roar at high rpm. CORSA tuned this system specifically to counter drone. Sound pressure waves are reflected within the muffler case and unwanted noise frequencies are cancelled through patented Refective Sound Cancellation™ technology. Their straight-through design coupled with RSC™ noise cancellation technology allows them to tune out the undesirable low frequencies that cause droning, while reducing back pressure. A reduction in back pressure allows the engine to produce more horsepower and torque. The end result is a tuned muffler that produces the best sound and performance possible.

Corsa Performance Exhaust - E46 M3
(more info) Corsa Performance T-304 stainless exhaust system for 2001-2006 E46 M3. Features mandrel-bent tubing, polished quad 3" tips, and drone-free quiet-cruising, thanks to Corsa's patented Reflective Sound-Cancellation (RSC) technology. This technology is a non-electrical noise control system without the complication of incorporating the use of electronics or speakers. Essentially, engine sound (pressure) waves are reflected in passages inside the muffler 180 degrees out of phase to cancel out unwanted sound waves. The result is a "tuned" muffler that "cleans up" the noise without eliminating the pure sound of power associated with a high-performance vehicle. Using this Corsa technology, the stainless steel Corsa Performance line of mufflers are tuned to eliminate passenger cabin resonance and produce just the "right" sound. The result is quieter cruising with an awe-inspiring roar at full throttle. The Corsa system also eliminates the "Rasp" characterists of the stock exhaust sound. This Rasp-elimination is accomplished just like the earlier "Rasp-X" product. This system is amazingly quiet during normal cruising, due to the "no drone" RSC technology, yet still has an aggressive presence and full sound while under throttle. This makes for ideal sound for those that want an aggressive "roar" while driving hard, yet still want a more discrete lower volume for normal cruising. (Please check out the video below for a sound sample).
As well as the tuned sound and drone eliminating sound, the mufflers use a straight-thru flow design for maximum flow and the least amount of restriction. Decreasing the restrictive back-pressure results in more horse power and torque, as well as the inspired sound this system creates for your E46 M3's 3.2 lliter engine. This exhaust mounts to the back of Section 1, replacing Section 2 and the rear muffler. It does not replace the Section 1 or the exhaust manifolds (E46 M3 exhaust manifolds contain the catalytic converters -- this exhaust does not affect emissions at all). Made 100% in the USA in Corsa's Ohio facility, this exhaust features a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. Fits all 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 M3 coupe and convertible.

Corsa Twin-Silencer Exhaust System - E46 325i 330i
(more info) Corsa Performance Twin-Silencer Exhaust (TSE) system for 2001-2005 325i & 330i (sedan and wagon) and 2001-2006 325Ci & 330Ci (**no convertibles). Features mandrel-bent T-304 stainless steel tubing, TIG-welded seams, true bolt-on installation (no cutting or welding), polished dual 3" round tips, as well as drone-free quiet-cruising, thanks to Corsa's patented Reflective Sound-Cancellation (RSC) technology. This technology is a non-electrical noise control system without the complication of incorporating the use of electronics or speakers.

2002 330Ci with exhaust
As well as the tuned sound and drone eliminating sound, the mufflers use a straight-thru flow design for maximum flow and the least amount of restriction. Decreasing the restrictive back-pressure results in more horse power and torque, as well as the inspired sound this system creates for your E46 325 or 330's inline 6 cylinder BMW engine. This is a complete cat-back system, which bolts to the factory catalytic converter and replaces everything rear of the cat on your E46 325 or 330. Made 100% in the USA in Corsa's Ohio facility, this exhaust features a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.
This item fits the following BMWs:
2001-2005 E46 BMW 325i 325ci 330i 330ci
Part #: COR14551S

Corsa Twin-Silencer LIGHT (Rear Section Only) - E46 325i 330i
(more info) The "Light" version of the Twin Silencer Exhaust (TSE) is an affordable rear section exhaust for all 2001-2005 325i, 330i, 330xi and all 2001-2006 325Ci and 330Ci, which gives a sporty yet subdued sound. Guaranteed absolutely no cabin "drone", this exhaust is perfect for the driver who wants "a little more" without going for the full cat-back TSE.
Features mandrel-bent T-304 stainless steel tubing, TIG-welded seams, polished dual 3" round tips, as well as drone-free quiet-cruising, thanks to Corsa's patented Reflective Sound-Cancellation (RSC) technology.
325Ci with TSE "light"
This rear muffler requires cutting of the original system, which is clearly documented with the supplied installation instructions, which include photos/illustrations to make the job straight forward. Though not as loud as the full cat-back version of the TSE, this rear muffler section also gives a more "tuned" sound that cleans up noise without eliminating the pure sound of power associated with a high-performance vehicle. Using this Corsa technology, the stainless steel Corsa Performance line of mufflers are tuned to eliminate passenger cabin resonance and produce just the "right" sound.
This TSE "Light" version exhaust fits the following BMWs:
2001-2005 E46 3 Series Sedan/Wagon including 325i, 330i,
2001-2006 E46 3 Series Coupe/Convertible including 325Ci & 330Ci
