What makes the IKON unique?
Like all Rogue Engineering products, the IKON exhaust system is entirely designed and developed in the US in our facility in Hohokus, NJ.  By doing the development, fitting, evaluation, and testing here, you're assured a product that not only looks and sounds great but a product you can have installed with confidence.

The budget-minded enthusiast will quickly notice that the first IKON offering, for the BMW E46 325/330 is price much lower than our DMS exhaust.  With a price of only $550, this is undoubtedly the most affordable BMW specific exhaust offered to date.  Isn't it time an affordable exhaust solution be available for the E46?  

By utilizing a custom-made, single muffler (instead of producing two, individual mufflers in our DMS system), Rogue was able to save manufacturing costs with this simpler design, and pass this savings to the performance customer.  Many enthusiasts do not pay particular attention to the shape or size of the muffler, as long as it fits well and sounds good.  The RE IKON fits this bill perfectly.

How much performance should I expect to gain?
In testing, replacing only a muffler or even the complete exhaust system on an E46 yields small measurable gains.  Of course, these minute gains may be depicted on a carefully constructed dyno chart.  Rogue Engineering looks at an exhaust with reality in mind, designing the exhaust to deliver great looks and sound, with minimal issues of fit.  Of course, all of this at an affordable price would be a bonus.  These are features that the Rogue Engineering IKON deliver!

For real-world exhaust performance gains, this typically means replacing the largest restriction, the catalytic converters, located in the factory exhaust manifolds.  From there, free flow aftermarket catalytic converters could be added downstream, after the exhaust gas velocity had an opportunity to accelerate out of the engine, allowing for the most LEGAL gas velocity allowable.  This course of action, however, can typically can exceed more than $3000 plus installation.

Replacing the ENTIRE factory exhaust system (resonators and rear muffler) with larger tubing WITHOUT addressing the largest restriction is an exercise in futility.  This kind of exhaust "upgrade" will generally cost needless additional installation charges, fit issues (can 6 clamps on an exhaust REALLY fit like factory?), and ultimately, drain your wallet faster than a Bugatti Veyron. 

IKON Features
Just because the IKON exhaust system is easy on the wallet does not mean you are getting short-changed.  Features of the RE IKON E46 system include:

• Only 21 pounds (replaces the 30-pound unit from the factory)
• Full 304 Stainless Steel construction
• Mandrel bent, dual 57mm tubing (stock is dual 50mm), allowing for increased air flow yielding positive performance gains.
• Mill-finished pipes and muffler, mirror polished dual 3" angle cut, double-walled, staggered tips.
• Entire exhaust utilizes TIG welded construction
• Deep tone (stock center resonator is retained)
• Maintains BMW factory warranty
• Rogue Engineering logo tastefully stamped in the body of the muffler
• Adjustable mounting positions allow variable positioning with aftermarket bodywork
• Can be clamped or welded (because factory exhaust must be cut, professional installation recommended)

Achieving precise exhaust fitment can be tricky—especially when the exhaust hanger has room to slide. This movement can cause annoying rattles or even lead to contact with the underbody or rear bumper. The ECS Tuning Exhaust Locking Collar offers a simple and effective fix. Designed to clamp securely around the exhaust hanger, this collar keeps everything firmly in place, eliminating unwanted movement.

Crafted from high-strength 6031 billet aluminum and finished in a sleek black anodized coating, it delivers both durability and corrosion resistance. With this collar in place, your exhaust stays exactly where it should—no rattles, no surprises.

Product Design:

Made from precision machined 6061 aluminum Black anodized finish Stainless steel M5 X 0.8mm hardware Installation & Support:

Install the locking collar around your exhaust hanger, position the hanger in place, and snug the locking collar down in place against the hanger! ECS Exhaust Hanger Locking Collars are available for 10mm and 12mm exhaust hangers. Please measure your hangers before ordering. The 10mm locking collar can be found HERE.

• Seamless integration with Varex muffler system
• Precise control over exhaust sound and performance
• Easy installation process
• Versatile functionality for enhanced driving experience

Replace your faulty or damaged catalytic converter with this high-quality unit designed for BMW vehicles. The catalytic converter plays a crucial role in reducing exhaust emissions by converting harmful gases into less toxic substances. It utilizes an internal honeycomb monolith, washcoat, and a catalyst composed of precious metals to achieve this. However, catalytic converters can degrade over time or get damaged if the engine runs too rich on fuel. If you encounter an oxygen sensor fault and the sensor itself is functional, a failed catalytic converter might be the issue.

• Stainless Steel Construction: Ensures durability and resistance to corrosion.
• Federal Emissions Compliant: Meets stringent emissions regulations for peace of mind.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for both gas and diesel engines.

Ensure your BMW passes emissions tests with ease by upgrading to this reliable catalytic converter.

The catalytic converter is a crucial emissions control device designed to transform exhaust gases from your BMW engine into less harmful substances. Featuring an internal honeycomb monolith, washcoat, and a catalyst made from precious metals, this component effectively reduces toxic emissions. Over time, catalytic converters can degrade, especially if the engine runs rich on fuel. A malfunctioning catalytic converter may trigger an oxygen sensor fault, even if the sensor itself is functional.

To ensure your BMW passes emissions tests and maintains optimal performance, consider replacing a damaged or faulty catalytic converter.

• Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Ensures long-lasting performance and resistance to harsh conditions.
• Federal Emissions Compliant: Meets regulatory standards for reduced environmental impact.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for both gas and diesel engines, providing a broad range of compatibility.
