• Twisted Steel Street Series Long-Tube Header & Connection Pipe BMW E36 M3

To get the most power out of a stock or modified vehicle, it is necessary for the exhaust to flow cleanly and unrestricted. However, a stock exhaust and muffler system can significantly reduce the flow of your exhaust system. Stock exhausts are perfect for daily driving, as they keep your exhaust quiet and local law enforcement out of your rear-view mirror. But if you take it to the track, that stock exhaust can really put a damper on the time of your passes.

• Magnaflow BMW E36 M3 Direct-Fit Catalytic Converter exhaust

The catalytic converter is an emissions device that converts the exhaust gasses exiting the engine into a less toxic substance. This is achieved through the internal honeycomb monolith, washcoat, and the catalyst itself that commonly consists of a mix of precious metals. Unfortunately the catalytic converters do not last forever, and can be damaged if the engine is running too rich on fuel. If you’re getting an oxygen sensor fault, and the sensor is ok, the likely cause is a failed catalytic converter.

The BMW E36 M3 is already one of the most iconic performance cars of its era. Its naturally aspirated straight six delivers an unforgettable driving experience and a soundtrack that enthusiasts love. One of the simplest ways to unlock even more character and performance from your E36 M3 is by upgrading the factory x pipe. This single modification improves air flow, increases horsepower potential and enhances the exhaust tone both on and off the race track. Photo credit below goes to HotCars.

An upgraded x pipe improves the flow of exhaust gases by reducing restrictions found in the factory mid section. This smoother path allows your engine to breathe more freely which can lead to noticeable horsepower gains at higher rpm. Better air flow also supports improved throttle response which is essential for both spirited street driving and competitive track sessions. Many E36 M3 owners immediately feel a cleaner pull in the upper rev range once the upgraded x pipe is installed. Sound is another major reason drivers choose to upgrade their x pipe. The factory setup is tame and does not fully reflect the personality of the engine. Photo credit below goes to PASMAG.

A performance x pipe creates a deeper tone and brings out a more aggressive sound that matches the character of the car. Whether you are carving through mountain roads or hitting the apex on a track day the upgraded x pipe delivers a louder and more exciting exhaust note that enhances the overall experience. There is also a wide variety of options when it comes to materials, brands and designs.
