If you’re looking to really amp up your BMW E9X M3, you might want to check out the Active Autowerke Signature Track Pipe with X-Pipe and Connecting Pipes. I’ve had my hands on this exhaust system, and let me tell you, it’s a game changer. It’s designed to fit right in with most aftermarket exhaust setups without any need for cutting or welding—just a straightforward bolt-on that even a weekend mechanic can tackle.
What really sets this system apart is the 100 cell high flow catalytic converter. It’s all about letting that exhaust flow freely, and you can feel the difference. Active Autowerke has taken the factory X Pipe and improved it with a scavenging effect that genuinely boosts horsepower. I’ve seen gains of over 12 RWHP on the dyno when paired with their Signature exhaust, and even a solid 10+ RWHP with the stock setup. That’s not just numbers; it’s real-world performance that you can feel.
And let’s talk about weight—this thing is a lightweight champ at just 25 lbs compared to the hefty 40 lbs of the factory system. That’s a noticeable difference, especially when you’re pushing your M3 on the track or just enjoying a spirited drive on the back roads. Plus, the construction is top-notch, made from 100% 304 brushed stainless steel, so you don’t have to worry about rust. Active Autowerke backs it up with a one-year warranty, which is always a nice touch.
Keep in mind, though, this setup is strictly for track or off-road use, so it’s not going to pass federal emission standards. But for those of us who are serious about performance, that’s a small price to pay.
This exhaust system fits BMW M3 models from 2008 to 2011. If you’re serious about squeezing out every bit of performance from your ride, the Active Autowerke Signature X-Pipe with High Flow Cats is definitely worth considering.
