BMW Exhaust Parts, Mufflers & Catalytic Converters for BMW E36 (1992-1998) M3

Finally the answer to your E36 exhaust woes! Upgrade from your old, crusty or quiet exhaust that lacks the OOMPH you want to hear when stepping on the gas. Our crew at Turner have been describing this exhaust with words like “symphony” and “hearty” with its smooth and low frequency tone. This is the kind of exhaust we stand outside and listen to as our residential test vehicle rolls out from work heading off in the distance while singing the oh so sweet straight six sound.

Our new E36 cat back is a tribute to the E36 M3 in more ways than one. The exhaust features 90s styling exhaust tips to compliment the sharp yet rudimentary body lines. Just like the E36 our exhaust was designed to be raw, straight to the point, lightweight and timeless.

To accomplish these goals our engineers rev’d up their creativity and went straight to work. Adapting straight to the mid-pipes our engineers transformed the lackluster 2.0” tubing and stepped up to a true-dual 2.5” exhaust with an integrated x-pipe to smooth out the flow and fine tune the exhaust note just how we wanted. Towards the rear of the vehicle you will find a light-weight and perfectly spec’d muffler featuring fabricated sheet metal hangers, slash cut integrated tips and achieves a fine-tuned exhaust note.
We can only hope the community enjoys this exhaust as much as we at Turner enjoy it. As a part of the community, we are excited to offer this awesome exhaust for all to enjoy.

Non-M Fitment:
?Although we designed this exhaust specifically for the M3 model we felt it was a shame to rob this exhaust opportunity from the Non-M E36 owners. Face it, every straight six deserves a sweet exhaust. If you or your fellow enthusiasts feel so inclined our exhaust can be fitted to all standard 6 cylinder E36s. ** For non-m E36s you will have to slightly bend the exhaust hangers to get perfect fitment in the non-m rear bumper/diffuser. **

Why the upgrade?

By now your E36 M3 is approaching 30 years of age and you have a few possible exhaust situations:

- One of the options is you still have the factory exhaust and it is at the end of its life, it could be covered in rust and unsightly or packed solid with soot deposits which is not helping the weight, flow or tone of your exhaust.

- A second option is that you have an aftermarket exhaust that you fitted years ago and it is seeing the same fate as the factory muffler just at an expedited rate, the muffler is no longer sounding or performing the same and needs to be swapped out.

- Another probable exhaust situation you could find yourself in is that you have an exhaust fitted on your M3 that you think sounds good and had no intentions of changing it but after seeing and hearing our Axle Back exhaust you find yourself wanting a new look, sound, and sense of enjoyment from driving your E36.

Product Development:

Our Turner E36 Exhaust was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team at Turner.

Performance Carbon Intake Systems - E36 6 Cyl Models:

In 2023 our team at Turner can proudly say we are still fixated on the E36 chassis, our group of engineers and technicians own a multitude of E36 chassis including an early model vert, 95 M3 and Z3m(still counts!). To pay tribute to this chassis we spent a great deal of time to ensure we crafted THE best intake possible for the beloved chassis. We made separate kits tailored to each of the 6 cylinder variations with options for OBD1, OBD2 and vehicles equipped with automatic stability control.

Built from the throttle body forwards, our ground-up designed e36 intake offers a closed lid design that, when paired with our powder coated heat shield, keeps your intake temps cool, all while packaging neatly into the engine bay, ensuring your intake is working as efficiently as possible while looking as good as ever. Our versatile intake includes all the provisions from the intake to the throttle body inlet, making every adjustment along the way to fit with whichever 6-cylinder USDM E36 you have, fitting all ASC and non-ASC, M and Non-M, and OBD1 and OBD2 variants.

Carbon, OEM+ styling with added air induction and lower intake air temperatures. To go the extra mile this kit includes new upgraded silicone throttle body and maf inlet tubes. With the new silicone tubing you can replace your worn or damaged rubber boots to ensure your car is running the best it can be. If the features alone don't sell you take a look at the photos to see just how good your engine bay could look. All of this along with install instructions makes the Turner E36 intake the clear choice for your vehicle. With this many features, there is no competition on the market that can compare.
