Turner Motorsport BMW Exhaust Parts, Mufflers & Catalytic Converters for BMW 3 Series E46 (1999-2005)

Lightweight performance exhaust for your E46, featuring a valved muffler and controller to change the sound with the click of a button.

When it comes to shopping for exhausts you want to find one that suits your driving style and sound preference. While one part of you wants to have a loud and aggressive sounding exhaust, there is another part of you that knows you don't want to wake up the neighborhood or annoy your significant other. Finally the answer to your dilemma, thanks to our engineers at Turner you no longer need to choose between rowdy and tame. With your new light-weight performance exhaust you have the option to go from tame and tasteful to loud and rowdy.

Our Valved exhaust was designed specifically for your E46 and there are no other options on the market like this. Control the tone and volume of your exhaust with the click of a button. With the valves closed you have a nice low tone and hearty exhaust note. When the valves are open you get complete unrestricted access to sound and power for when your at the track or just in the mood to let it rip.

Our Turner catback features dual 2.0" stainless steel mid-pipes that connect directly to your factory downpipes. Within the mid-pipes is an integrated x pipe for a smooth flowing center section with lower amounts of back pressure which leads to increased performance and a smoother exhaust tone. The 2.0" mid-pipes crossover and flow into a 3" exhaust section and full 3" valved muffler. The muffler features integrated 3" exhaust tips for an aggressive look that fills out your rear diffuser to get the perfect appearance.

Valved exhausts of this caliber can be found on new performance models, super cars and overall cars way above the price ranges of a nice E46. Surprisingly enough some E46's did come with a type of vacuum actuated mufflers which opened and closed the exhaust under certain rpm ranges, unfortunately by now the factory valve is damaged or the muffler no longer actuates. Although the factory valved muffler on E46's were great in theory, there was very little change in tone and was limited by your driving style. Taking notes from the original engineering process from BMW, our engineers revitalized this cool technology and made it better. The final product is a light-weight performance exhaust that features superior valving and show stopping aesthetics!

When we set out to build an exhaust for the BMW E46 323/328, we knew it needed to match how you drive and how you want your car to sound. We also know that while many drivers wish for an aggressive, head-turning exhaust note, they don’t always want the volume all the time. That’s why we engineered this lightweight Turner Motorsport performance exhaust system with a fully valved muffler, giving you the ability to switch between a refined, quiet tone and a loud, spirited sound at any moment.

Our new Turner Cat-Back Exhaust is the first valved rear section designed specifically for the E46 323/328. With the included remote controller, you can change your exhaust tone with a simple click. With the valve closed, the system delivers a smooth, deep, tasteful note for daily driving. Open the valve, and you unlock an aggressive, free-flowing exhaust tone that brings out the full character of the M52 engine, perfect for track days or anytime you want maximum sound and performance.

For maximum flow and durability, we built this system using dual 2.0" T304 stainless steel mid-pipes that bolt directly to your factory downpipes. Inside the mid-section, we integrated an X-pipe to balance exhaust pulses, reduce backpressure, increase performance, and smooth the exhaust note. The dual 2.0" mid-pipes merge into a 3.0" axle-back section and a full 3.0" valved muffler, finished with bold 3.0" integrated tips that perfectly fill the E46 rear bumper.

Modern performance cars use valved exhaust systems as standard equipment, but the E46 never truly benefited from that technology. Some early E46 models used a basic vacuum-controlled valve, but after nearly 20 years, most are no longer functional. By studying BMW’s original concept and improving it with modern engineering, we created a lightweight, high-performance valved exhaust that gives your BMW E46 323/328 modern sound control, better flow, and a dramatically enhanced driving experience.
