Rogue Engineering is proud to introduce their DMS (Dual Muffler System) exhaust systems for the E46 (non-M) in its latest offering to the performance exhaust marketplace.
What makes the DMS unique?
Like all Rogue Engineering products, the DMS 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.
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 our 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 DMS 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, 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.
DMS Features
Just because the DMS exhaust system is easy on the wallet does not mean you are getting short-changed. Features of the RE IKON E46 system include:
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.

Rogue Engineering is proud to introduce their Z4 M Diablo exhaust. A cursory glance at the exhaust easily shows how this exhaust excels in both performance while saving weight. However, a closer look will show the pure artistry of its construction and elements of unique design.
Like the successful E46 M3 Diablo exhaust, the Z4 M Diablo exhaust is designed to compliment the high-revving engine concept which BMW has implemented into the M brand vehicles as of late. This means that the exhaust note will not only sound good at low RPMs, but also at the high RPM limit of the engine. Additionally, the Z4 M Diablo will improve performance at high RPMs with its straight-through muffler design.
Installation of the Z4 M Diablo requires no cutting or welding as it requires the removal of the factory rear mufflers. Installation time is approximately 45 minutes. No new gaskets or hardware is required.
BMW E36 Corsa Pro Series Sport Exhaust System - Black Tips is engineered to deliver a unique and powerful exhaust note while enhancing performance. Corsa is renowned for its advanced technologies that produce an unmistakable sound while reducing restrictions for better performance. This exhaust system is designed specifically for the BMW E36, balancing an aggressive sound with refined quality.
Engineered to deliver a great sound without unpleasant drone, this exhaust system offers easy installation and removal, ensuring a hassle-free upgrade experience.
The Corsa sport mufflers for the F10 M5 boost horsepower and torque and make a nicer sound than hushed sounds of the stock M5 exhaust system. This Corsa Sport exhaust for the M5 works with the Active Sound to make more growl and rumble so you can actually enjoy the V8 sound. Using stainless steel tubing with their performance muffler design they are able to reduce exhaust restriction compared to the stock system. As well as the tuned exhaust note and drone-eliminating sound, the mufflers use a straight-thru flow design for maximum flow and the least amount of restriction. Decreasing the back-pressure helps the turbos work more efficiently, processing exhaust gases easier and releasing more horsepower and torque. Power gains on the dyno were measured at 13hp and 18ft-lbs of torque compared to stock.
Also included is the patented Corsa Reflective Sound Cancellation to eliminate drone (commonly found on most straight-through muffler designs.) We have tried this muffler upgrade on our own M5 and can report back that it makes slightly more burble and throatiness than stock while remaining composed and civilized. The new sound is especially noticeable from outside the car where there is a bit more 'boom' to go with the M5's immense punch.
Reflective Sound-Cancellation (RSC) technology - This feature is a patented non-electrical noise control system, where engine sound (pressure) waves are reflected in passages inside the muffler 180 degrees out of phase to cancel out unwanted sound waves. The result is a tuned muffler that "cleans up" the noise without eliminating the pure sound of power associated with a high-performance vehicle. Using the Corsa technology, the stainless steel mufflers are tuned to eliminate passenger cabin resonance and produce just the "right" sound. The result is quieter cruising with an awe-inspiring roar at full throttle. This system is amazingly quiet during normal cruising, due to the "no drone" RSC technology, yet still has an aggressive presence and full sound while under throttle. This makes for ideal sound for those that want an aggressive "roar" while driving hard, yet still want a more discrete lower volume for normal cruising.
This is an axle-back system, which replaces only the rear mufflers of the stock M5 exhaust. It's very easy and straightforward to install and the rest of the exhaust can remain on the car. The Corsa mufflers are designed to install at an existing cut-point in the factory exhaust which makes it easy to reinstall the original exhaust at any time (factory sleeve clamps required to reinstall). This system is 100% Made in the USA and carries a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. This exhaust is emissions legal in all 50 states (no effect whatsoever on emissions, and there will not be any "Check Engine" warning lights).
