Free ground shipping! Fan of the rasp that comes from the S54 engine? This front exhaust section replaces the single resonator in the US exhaust (or the cats in Euro models) with a straight-through pipe. This can be a direct bolt-on to the stock or Euro headers and includes rear O2 sensor ports (for Euro models, must be plugged for US models). You can use this with the Supersprint resonator delete section 2 pipe for the max rasp effect. Or mount it with any other section 2 exhaust to fine-tune your sound. Supersprint exhaust is widely recognized as the leader in complete exhaust system upgrades - extremely high quality, well designed for optimal flow, and amazing sound. Even at a premium price, Supersprint is an unbeatable exhaust system because every aspect is done to such a high level. A Supersprint exhaust rewards you with a terrific sound, long-lasting construction, and excellent fitment. The Supersprint sound is very 'European' which fits the sporting sophistication of BMWs perfectly. Most systems are also modular - sections can be added or removed to custom tailor the exhaust sound to your preference. Aside from 'Race' systems, their mufflers meet European noise laws so you get a refined and tuned sound without being excessively loud. Supersprint exhausts generally run at a premium over other systems but no other system on the market can match their quality, performance, or reputation! This part alters or deletes the emissions equipment on your car. Because of this, we require a waiver of emissions compliance to be signed and sent in to Turner Motorsport.

These Supersprint metallic sport cats are for the E46 M3 with Supersprint's own stepped headers. The piping is slightly oversized and the Supersprint sport cats are much freer-flowing than a traditional stock cat. With less restriction, less effort is required to move the exhaust gasses which will free up horsepower and torque. This cat section will only mount to the Supersprint full stepped headers (p/n 044001) and then to any section 2. These cats are built with O2 sensor bungs pre-installed after the cat if you wanted to extend your stock post-cat O2 sensors (however, special software may still be needed).

Most Supersprint systems are built with larger diameter piping to improve exhaust flow which helps the engine do less work and make more horsepower!

Supersprint metallic sport catalytic converters are sourced from HJS of Germany. For 30 years HJS has been supplying motorsports teams with sport cats when rules required them. HJS is now a worldwide leader in sport cat technology and performance. Rally cars, German DTM, and Formula 3 all rely on HJS for clean, reliable horsepower. Supersprint works closely with HJS to spec a catalytic converter that is correct for the vehicle and engine package. This allows for a substantial increase in flow but which, at the same time, keeps the environmental specs within European limits. With any high-flow catalytic converter, special software or other work may be required to keep emissions fault codes and check engine lights from displaying. Supersprint catalytic converters are sold for track and other off-road uses only.

Experience the latest design innovation from Supersprint for the E46 M3 -- 'stepped' design headers. While the technology has been in widespread use in Formula 1 for awhile, this is the first application of a stepped design on the E46 M3. In an engine that is tuned as much as the S54, airflow management is critical in getting big horsepower numbers from the exhaust. The Supersprint design is the next step in innovation in header design. By slightly increasing the size of the pipe diameters as the exhaust system moves away from the engine, the exhaust can flow more air. Supersprint design is tuned specifically for the S54 engine which is important in making more power without losing low-end torque. The headers merge into a precision-fit merge collector. Total horsepower gain with the complete system over a US Vehicle would be more than 30 hp. 15-19 hp gain over 'Euro-style' headers full stepped tubular and equal length headers bolts to the engine with factory hardware and gaskets used with Supersprint stepped section 1 (with or without cats) Included in this kit are Supersprint metallic sport cats designed to pair right up top Supersprint's own stepped headers. The piping is slightly oversized and the Supersprint sport cats are much freer-flowing than a traditional stock cat. With less restriction, less effort is required to move the exhaust gasses which will free up horsepower and torque. This cat section will only mount to the Supersprint full stepped headers (p/n 044001) and then to any section 2. These cats are built with O2 sensor bungs pre-installed after the cat if you wanted to extend your stock post-cat O2 sensors (however, special software may still be needed). When deciding on the right exhaust the hardest part is feeling confident in the best sound mixed with increased performance, this really leaves you to guess based on reputation. Fortunately, Supersprint has the reputation covered when it comes to BMW exhausts. For over 60 years their goal has always been designing and building the highest quality exhaust available. This has been achieved through extensive testing using real race teams to get the best feedback there is to offer, from the ones who demand the best every day. Extensive dyno testing, high-quality materials, and race team feedback are what allow Supersprint to extract the power from your engine, not just the noise. Supersprint exhausts offer quality, performance, and a great reputation that no other systems on the market can match!

Free ground shipping! Supersprint sport cats for the E46 M3 are designed to work with their cat-less headers or to replace factory Euro cats. The Supersprint sport cats are much freer-flowing than a traditional stock cat. With less restriction, less effort is required to move the exhaust gasses which will free up horsepower and torque. This cat section will mount to the Supersprint headers (p/n 044901) and then to a section 2. This section is built with O2 sensor bungs pre-installed after the cat if you wanted to extend your stock post-cat O2 sensors (however, special software may still be needed). Note the direction of the front flanges - they have to match the orientation of your existing header flanges.

The catalytic converter is an emissions device that converts the exhaust gasses exiting the engine into a less toxic substance. This is achieved through the internal honeycomb monolith, washcoat, and the catalyst itself that commonly consists of a mix of precious metals. Unfortunately the catalytic converters do not last forever, and can be damaged if the engine is running too rich on fuel. If you're getting an oxygen sensor fault, and the sensor is ok, the likely cause is a failed catalytic converter. Relieve worry about an upcoming emissions test and replace your faulty or damaged catalytic converter.
