The very best sound you can get out of an E46 is with the stock steel muffler with an CA intake. Get the mid muffler deleted and it will sound like a BMW straight 6 should be.
Not sure what you mean. The headers will work for both but you may have to cut the flanges and rewelded on your factory exhaust. Most headers on the market however are meant for the m54
car sounds great. i’m thinking about doing this on my e46 328 soon. so did you keep the stock exhaust and just cut off the muffler and weld a straight pipe in its place? And the cat delete was because of the new catless headers right?
For the tune you bought do you need to not have Catalytic converters? I plan on getting the same stage 2 tune you have but I don’t have an aftermarket air intake and I have stock headers
Thank you all for the support and views. Many view didn’t like my ricer burble tune and neither did I. I have a new uploaded video with a new exhaust and a new tune. czcams.com/video/v2-PAKEx5HQ/video.html
So if I didn’t want to go with the pops n bangs, that’s just in the tune? I’m looking for this sound in my 330i just would rather do without the crackle/pops
Just do a similar exhaust set up like I have. Headers with an aftermarket muffler. However your exhaust will smell very bad if it’s not tuned. The company I bought from has an option for no pops.
I looked around for a while until a found a set that would like up with my flanges. I did have to cut down the 2nd o2 bungs but I didn’t use them anyway. All I hav to do was removed the passenger side motor mount and lift the pan with a jack and whole engine twisted a good amount and gives so much more room.
THX G you just put me on cuz the person who was gonna tune my car backed out. I didnt know i could just buy one 👌👌. Quick question do you have an MS42 or 43? Can this be acheived with a MS42 that is what i have?

Does thease pops ans bangs and hardcut rev limmiter demage engine or its safe, i have heard that it is not good for valves, head, cams, but modern car shoot from exhaust too like m3, i30n .ty for answer
It’s all understanding of what is happening. Ignition timing is retarded until the exhaust valve is open. This was my old time and I run a different one now. It can be turned on and off. Doing this excessively isn’t exactly harmful but can put extra heat on the exhaust valves which over time may weaken the valve seal causing oil burning. The hard cut limiter is better for the engine then a fuel cut limiter but it’s set to a higher rpm. So it’s just revving the engine higher then factory
@@TheArmando20095 I live in Florida so there e no Emissions testing. It’s also 23 years old being a 99. It is exempt in 2 years (25 year old cars don’t need to pass)
No. I only have the pops and bangs because it’s of my tune which they can be switched on and off. You can do exactly what I did with headers and muffler but no tune. The exhaust smells really really bad with no cats though. After it was tuned the air fuel ratio was let Rich so it doesn’t smell bad anymore
Any ideas on how I should make my 2005 BMW 325i louder?🤷🏽♂️ I’m not sure what I wanna do, I want it loud but not loud to where I’ll get pulled over too much
Hop on the search bar and just start looking at videos. Try muffler delete or muffler and resonator delete. That’s cheapest way to get a good sound. And you won’t get pulled over unless you are being stupid so don’t be doing pulls everywhere
It’s all about the flanges. I just know that blackhorse racing bolt up with no flange modifications. Most headers are made for the 325/330. These will bolt the engine on a 328 but they won’t line up with the rest of the exhaust without modifications
Correct I don’t have cats. The headers aren’t too hard to install as long as you have some experience. If you remove the motor mount and jack up the oil pan it gives you so much more room
I have a 330 with theire stage 2 tune as well similar setup but automatic and it seems that your first pull in 2nd gear accelerated and reved out much faster than mines does? Weird or does that make sense I'm confused haha... prolly just the diff/trans gearing but idk
There were cross over years for both. They made e36 convertibles In 99 while the sedan was an e46. Same was true in 06. You could by an e46 convertible an en e90 sedan. Mine was mid 98 production date
Search on google for Revmatch Motorsports. They are a remote or mailed tuning company. To get the pops (spaced booms, or popcorn) you just need to delete your catalytic converters by doing headers or just removed my them
Well yeah of course it can. They have have the same engine and exhaust but different transmissions. There’s tons of videos out there of autos wirh exhausts
what about on the 01 325i? think it would sound good? and will the tune work? the website says (Only for Ms43/42 years 1999-2003) What stage did you pick?
They are basically the same engine just slightly smaller. Headers, and muffler sounds pretty much identical on any of the cars .323, 325, 328, and 330. And yes your car is ms43. All you have to do is select your year and model
No sir. Just magic. This car will do standing 2 wheel burn outs for days but when you try to get the rear end loose and drift it spins only the inside tire
They will all bolt up to the cylinder head but the issue is the lower flanges. It’s pretty hit or miss. I was lucky to find some that bolted to my 328.
@@garbinsgarage the lower flanges and the rear o2's seem to be the issues here. im not too concerned with the rear o2's, as i am going to get them coded out with a tune
wow, im amazed, i love quite it is honestly. That is the sound i am aiming for. Have a question, does the stage 2 tune add any HP? i was thinking about getting a tune by them. @garbinsgarage
If you get one go for the stage 3 and yes there quite a difference but mainly the throttle response and manipulation. Throttle blips closed making downshifting super smooth and much more rev happy with less throttle input. Stage 2 is almost identical but no flames, launch control, and a few other parameters. Also definitely do spaced pops and not fast. Mine were fast and then when I got stage 3 they were spaced. Check out my more recent exhaust video
Not a fan of the crackles, but man that tone is *perfect* .That's a proper Need for Speed racecar sound.
The very best sound you can get out of an E46 is with the stock steel muffler with an CA intake. Get the mid muffler deleted and it will sound like a BMW straight 6 should be.
What is the steel muffller ?
@@xtrist98x Steel almost evet car is made up of.
Agreed
Wtf the stock steel muffler is shit
Very similar in sound to a stock e36 328. Very nicely done.
This is pretty true actually. At least one with a cat delete. I’ve had 2 36 but my e46 exhaust was def wayyyyy louder
I cant believe your car is non turbo bro it sounds so f’n good best N/A engine ever made in my opinion 🔥🔥
No e46 engine ever came boosted💀 they can take boost pretty well tho
Awesome I plan on doing it to my 2003 325xi I plan on m50 intake and these headers with a stage 3 or 4 from revmatch sounds amazing
Just did the m50 on my 325ci with everything along with stage 4 from revmatch. For what its worth just leave the m54 manifold or go m54b30
If your plan was not completed yet, go for an M54b30 intake... It is the same engine type, so fitting will save you a lot of headaches.
That sound really good
You can install them on the 328 and the 323. NOT the 325, that is the M54
Not sure what you mean. The headers will work for both but you may have to cut the flanges and rewelded on your factory exhaust. Most headers on the market however are meant for the m54
car sounds great. i’m thinking about doing this on my e46 328 soon. so did you keep the stock exhaust and just cut off the muffler and weld a straight pipe in its place? And the cat delete was because of the new catless headers right?
The muffler is removed and replaced with a different muffler. And yes the headers do not have cats
For the tune you bought do you need to not have Catalytic converters? I plan on getting the same stage 2 tune you have but I don’t have an aftermarket air intake and I have stock headers
The cats need to be removed. The pops and bangs will eventually break them apart because of the unburnt fuel. An air intake is not really required
There's no way you achieve the best exhaust with that cheap setup
Well yes way because I HAVE LOL

Jits got an e46 when the e36 was still being sold lol

It’s all about the flanges. I just know that blackhorse racing bolt up with no flange modifications. Most headers are made for the 325/330. These will bolt the engine on a 328 but they won’t line up with the rest of the exhaust without modifications

Probably like an extra 5-8 hp on top of the 10 from headers
Also did u get the spaced out or quick pop/burble?

How was it to get the headers in ? I'm thinking of getting the same maybe .. plus you have no cats right ?
