BMW Performance Headers & Downpipes for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Headers are a bolt-on component that will make a huge improvement in how your BMW performs. As a replacement for your factory BMW exhaust manifold, our BMW headers provide a more direct path for exhaust gasses leaving your engine. Headers prevent your BMW's exhaust pulses from 'fighting' one another as they leave the head. The end result is that BMW headers give you more power and torque, and you'll love the high-winding top end push that a free-breathing engine exhibits. BMW headers are a must-have if you're doing any engine modifications on your vehicle. Along with a cold air intake, BMW headers provide the free-flowing exhaust necessary to get the most power out of your motor.

The Supersprint headers are among the best on the market for making the most top-end power on the M50/S50US engines. These are a long-tube equal length design which maximizes airflow for excellent power gains. On their own these can be good for 12-15hp (and more with other modifications). These are the real deal stainless steel headers with beautiful construction and design (often copied for cheap auction sites but made from mild steel).

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 design because every aspect is done to such a high level. 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!

Special Pricing! These Supersprint 'partial-stepped' headers for the Euro E46 M3, MZ3, and Z4 M are a replacement for the stock manifolds/cats. These are the tubular 'stepped' equal length headers (not the full racing stepped headers) - the header pipes increase in diameter the further they get from the engine until terminiating in a stock Euro-type flange. These stepped headers will bolt to the stock section 1 of the Euro exhaust. For making E46 M3 horsepower and performance gains, headers are right at the top of the list (along with changing the rear end gears). Since the stock catalytic converters are in the original exhaust manifolds, using any type of tubular non-cat manifolds will give instant power gains. The Supersprint headers are full 304 stainless steel (not mild steel) for better heat dissipation and heat resistance to cracking and de-forming (any headers not made from stainless suffer from structural problems). Supersprint designs their headers with CAD programs and 50 years of exhaust tuning experience. These headers are an improvement over any 'Euro style' header on the market. This part is designed for the Euro market with the correct flanges for the Euro exhaust and the O2 and EGT sensor ports pre-installed. Special software or stand alone engine management would be required to keep check engine and fault codes from appearing. Software is recommended to maximize the performance gains from this header upgrade.
