BMW Exhaust Parts, Mufflers & Catalytic Converters for BMW E46 M3 S54 (1999-2005)

The wait is finally over, if you have been driving your E46 M3 around with a stock exhaust or are looking for your final exhaust setup we have you covered! Welcome to the world of ingenious designed exhausts that can meet your every driving need. Our new E46 M3 catback Exhaust is a stunning example of both engineering and art with sounds to please your ears and a sight to remember. Our catback is a lightweight and free-flowing exhaust that features two independent valved mufflers and an ingenious mounting system that is a pleasure to install and easy to perfectly dial in the exhaust fitment. Weighing 19lbs or less than your factory exhaust, featuring mufflers specifically designed for the S54 this exhaust is able to provide two completely different driving experiences.

With the exhaust valves closed the refined driving experience will blow your mind; while daily driving with closed valves there is a perfect bump in volume over the factory exhaust which allows you to hear and feel your rpms with a smooth exhaust note that shows your true passion for your iconic vehicle. Now on to the real action, what you have always wanted but never wanted to commit to. Some days you just want to put the pedal to the floor with unlimited amounts of exhaust volume with your high revving 6 cylinder. Here is your opportunity to unleash the pure sound of your S54 while having the choice to change back to a respectable volume exhaust. With the valves open this exhaust is an absolute mental, untamable racecar. Starting off from a stop with the valves open there is a significant increase in volume over the valves closed. When entering in to the 2000 rpm range you begin to experience the slightest taste of how satisfying the exhaust is going to sound. As you approach 4,000 rpms and higher you now have started to open up the can of worms, you can feel the free flowing path of the exhaust with limited to no resistance, far superior to the factory exhaust. Anything after 6500 rpms is an absolute statement of exhaust. Over 6500 rpm is a sonorous note that lives rent free in the enthusiasts mind that can make a believer out of anyone who doubted the capable E46 M3. Once you are done having your fun and have experienced your S54 more than you ever have all you do is make one button click on your valve controller and you are back to high class and refinement. Truly the best of both worlds and a school girl giggling experience anytime you want.
