If you’re looking to enhance your BMW E46 M3, let me tell you about the Active Autowerke Exhaust SECTION 1 paired with some Hi Flow 100 cell metallic catalysts. This setup is a game changer, especially if you’ve already upgraded to performance headers. You might wonder why bother with an aftermarket SECTION 1 when BMW’s factory version is already a straight-through design. Well, if you’ve got those headers in place, you’ll quickly find that the factory setup can leave a lot to be desired in terms of performance and sound.
So, what’s the deal? When you slap on the Autowerke Exhaust SECTION 1, you’re stepping into a whole new world of sound and performance. If you’ve experienced that raw, raspy noise from the stock exhaust—especially when you hit those high RPMs—you know it can be a bit much. That’s where this exhaust shines. It smooths out those harsh sound waves that can make your ears ring. Plus, you’ll notice a significant reduction in that unpleasant smell of unburnt fuel. Trust me, it makes a difference when you’re cruising around.
Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. With the Active Autowerke setup, you’re looking at performance gains that rival the factory section, even with the added benefit of filtering through those 100 cell catalysts. It’s a pretty impressive feat when you think about it. You still get all the power without that annoying rasp. The brushed finish gives it an industrial vibe, and it’s built from 100% 304 stainless steel, so you know it’s going to last.
Installation? A breeze. It utilizes the factory mounting points, so you can bolt it on without any hassle. Plus, it’s designed for off-road use, which means you can really push your M3 without worrying about the exhaust holding you back. And if you ever run into questions, the two-year warranty and free tech support have got your back.
To sum it up, if you’re serious about getting the most out of your BMW M3 from 2001 to 2006, the Active Autowerke Exhaust SECTION 1 with Hi Flow Catalysts is definitely worth considering. It’s all about enhancing that driving experience, and this exhaust does just that.
