The Supersprint rear resonator for the E46 M3 is designed to help you tune your exhaust to your personal taste. If you're not a fan of the stock raspy exhaust note of the M3 this Supersprint resonator can help to reduce it. Or if extensive exhaust modifications have made the exhaust too loud this resonator can help quiet and dampen the overall volume. This fits in section 2 of the exhaust - after the front resonator section 1 and before the rear muffler.

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 preferance. Aside from 'Race' systems, their mufflers meet European noise laws so you get a refined and tuned sound without being excessively loud. 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 exhausts generally run at a premium over other systems but no other system on the market can match their quality, performance, or reputation!

When building your vehicle for the track, there are a lot of considerations to take into account. One major factor is your exhaust system. Many exhaust systems are only designed for so much exhaust flow, which can really limit the total amount of potential power your engine can produce. To address this issue with heavily tuned, turbocharged, or supercharged E46 M3s, Supersprint now offers a new line of high performance Center Twin-Pipe Exhaust Pipes that are designed to provide you with a significantly higher exhaust flow than their original performance exhaust pipes, 787503 (Resonated) and 787513 (Non-Resonated), designed for street and light track performance.

This twin pipe system utilizes two high flow pipes instead of a single large pipe, allowing for up to 25% greater total exhaust flow. Thanks to the increased total flow, these center pipes are capable of supporting S54 engines producing over 400whp, perfect for all highly modified street cars or performance track vehicles.

This specific option offer's pipes that are resonated to prevent excessive noise and drone that may be experienced at cruising RPM speeds.

Want more rasp and volume to come through from your exhaust? This Supersprint section 2 will replace and delete the factory resonator that sits before the muffler. Without the resonator there to dampen the sound the overall volume will increase and let more S54 rasp come through. Combine this with the Supersprint section 1 straight pipes for even more Motorsport rasp. This section 2 pipe will bolt up to a stock section 1 or cat section and any muffler. It's perfect for getting just a little more volume from your stock exhaust without changing the muffler.

Rasp Terminator for the E46 M3 (also for MZ3 and Z4M) is a tuned front section that: Greatly reduce rasp from the S54 engine Balance exhaust pressure for each bank with H-pipe crossover The S54 rasp is excessive and tuning it out requires the right combination of resonators, placement, and tubing size. CPI designed their own section 1 after other designs on the market fell short. Rasp is reduced by approximately 80% on a M3 equipped with aftermarket headers. The latest RTX incorporates an H-pipe crossover that equalizes exhaust pressures in both banks before they merge for section 2. This reduces turbulence and improves exhaust flow. While not designed to gain power and torque, dyno testing showed slight gains with this system. Fitment has also been improved for better ground clearance. Tubing is a full 2.36" (60mm) and 304 stainless steel throughout. It will bolt on to most headers and to any section 2 that uses the factory-style flanges.

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).

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.

Replaces the factory section 2 mid pipe. ​Like all RE products, the section 2 x-pipe was designed to be both high quality as well as functional. Whereas the factory section 2 utilizes two 60mm diameter tubes, with a "H" crossover and small resonator, the RE X-pipe maximizes gas velocity by merging the two smaller tubes into one larger 76mm tube before splitting back into two before the rear muffler. This efficient system allows for gas velocity to equalize from cylinders 1-3 and 4-6, before entering the muffler chamber, improving sound as well as gas velocity. As an added feature, the incorporated external "dump" at the end of the X-pipe for total user controllable sound. The optional EVC valve allows the user to control the exhaust sound from stock (completely closed) to race-like loud (completely open) from within the inside of the vehicle. The user has the option of any variable position (partially open), controlling the exhaust volume and flow. It takes less than 3 seconds to fully open to fully closed. The RE X-Pipe is made to fit exactly like factory. Features include: Weighs only 12 lbs. with included blockoff plate (factory is 22 lbs.) Optional Electronic Valve Control (EVC) valve allows for user controlled exhaust sound levels with touch of a switch (designed to be mounted inside the cabin, with a discreet momentary switch) 100% T-304 stainless steel, full TIG welded construction. Version 2 now incorporates a 2-piece design allow for integration of the ROGUE ENGINEERING E46 M3 TRACK EXHAUST Includes all hardware require to mount to aftermarket exhausts. Will not change ground clearance Will not affect emissions No permanent modifications required for installation EVC Kit - ES3509316 The optional EVC sound control kit includes the following: US-made EVC Valve (6061-T6 Aluminum body and plate, stainless steel butterfly/shaft, High Temp Steel Gears) Custom wiring harness, specifically designed for internal console mounting in E46 M3. All you need is power and ground source for wiring. Custom momentary rocker switch Hardware and gaskets for mounting valve to RE X-Pipe.
