The S65 V8 in the E9X M3 offers a fantastic exhaust note, which can be overpowering at times if you have a cat-less setup, or your primary cats deleted.

Our favorite feature about this setup is that you’re able to display the S65 at car shows, gatherings and in photographs in a way that stands out from many others. The gloss carbon fiber finish really stands out in the sunlight and helps this engine bay come to life.
