Supersprint Tubular Performance Headers - E39 540i/M5

Free ground shipping!

The stock exhaust manifolds on the 540i and M5 models are an easy target for making more power and torque. They are efficiently designed for mass production and not tuned expressly for making power. And on later models the primary catalytic converters are embedded in the stock manifolds for emissions purposes. The Supersprint headers are a direct fit to all 1997-2003 E39 540i and M5 models and their tubular design with merge collectors have been proven to make significant horsepower and torque gains. With the full header and sport cat setup we measured 30hp at the wheels on a stock M5! And the fitment and quality of the Supersprint headers is second to none.

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!

Section 1 / Catalytic Converter Options
You have a few different options for the exhaust immediately after the headers (known as 'section 1'):

connecting pipes to stock section 1 cats*

Supersprint section 1 metallic sport cats**

Supersprint section 1 test pipes (no cats)**

* - 1999-2003 540i models will need to have the rear O2 sensors extended to the new location of the cats.
** - these layouts are sold expressly for race or on-track use only. Special software may be required to prevent fault codes and other conditions.
