• BMW E9X M3 exhaust system breakdown diagrams - Where the primary and secondary cats are, silencers, what an X-pipe replaces, etc.

      One of the first modifications many people install on an E9x M3 is an performance exhaust system, and while the exhaust system layout of an E9x M3 may seem like elementary knowledge to most fans of the M3, IND constantly gets calls from less experienced enthusiasts who are simply too busy to put their M3 in the air and have a look underneath. I find myself sending clients photos of various exhaust combinations simply to give them an idea of where all the components sit, and how each part can contribute to both power and sound.

      We shot some photos of an Eisenmann exhaust system with a factory x pipe still installed to give people a visual reference to each component that makes up the original x pipe. This way, enthusiasts that are new to the M3 can better understand the components they may be thinking of replacing.

        Nate, Awesome post.

        I tried calling you at your shop the other day. When you have a chance, please give me a ring. Some drunk girl on a bicycle decided to ride into my front bumper and demolish it, so I was interested in some other options you might have available, amongst speaking about other things.

        Thanks!
