Description
DriftShop Full Exhaust System for BMW E46 Designed by DriftShop this full exhaust system for BMW E46 is compatible with all 6 cylinder M54 engine petrol models : 320i 325i 330i from 2000 to 2006. It replaces all the existing exhaust elements after the manifold (mid-pipe + back box). Free-flowing this exhaust system is the perfect solution to improve the power and the noise of your engine without spending too much! This exhaust will add some extra power and torque to your vehicle accompanied by a remarkable sporty sound at moderate volume thanks to its new generation silencer designed to generate less noise and comply with racetrack restrictions. This exhaust system is made up of two 55 mm diameter tubes merged in the midpipe using an X shape (X-Pipe). The back box’s double tips are 80 mm in diameter. The system is made from T304 stainless steel and is TIG welded. Express shipping easy and “bolt on” installation in place of the stock exhaust. Bolts and gaskets included. Not suitable for 4-wheel drive Compact and M3 models. Important Note : Fitting to M5 Engines This DriftShop exhaust system for BMW E46 can be fitted directly on all models with M54 engine code : 320i 325i & 330i from 2000 to 2006. It can also be installed on M52 models (320i 323i 325i 328i from 1998 to 2000) if the car is fitted with an M54 manifold. The difference lies in the flanges between the outlet of the exhaust manifold and the start of our exhaust system : on M52 the flanges are oriented “North-West / South-East” against “South-West / North-East” on M54 (when viewed from below back to front – see photos). The DriftShop exhaust system uses the “South-West / North-East” orientation of the M54 for wider compatibility. Given that many vehicles of this generation have been modified during their lifetime often without the knowledge of their current owner it is difficult to ensure traceability of E46 models. Thus we advise you to systematically check the orientation of the flanges on your vehicle before placing your order.
