aFe Twisted Steel Exhaust Header for 1996-1999 BMW M3 (48-36316-YC)

Product Description

Long Tube Headers: Formed Collectors: 3-to-1 mitered collectors decrease turbulence and increases exhaust velocity. The result is increased horsepower, torque and improved throttle response. Optimized Tube Lengths: Tube lengths are optimized for true pulse control technology which improves flow and performance. 3/8" Laser-Cut Flanges: These headers come with 3/8" thick laser-cut head flanges that are designed to match the head port for a leak-free seal. Mid-Pipe: Catalytic Converters: Includes EPA compliant catalytic converters. Construction: Constructed of mandrel-bent dual 1.625" stainless steel piping which transitions into single 2" piping to reduce back pressure and improve flow. Leak-Free Seal: High quality OE style flanges and band clamps are used for a complete 360 degree sealing surface. Hassle-Free Installation: The performance header and Mid-Pipe are designed to fit in the stock location with an included extension pipe which allows this system to fit without modification. This system incorporates OE style hangers, flanges and includes O2 extensions for a hassle-free installation. Emissions Disclaimer: This product is EPA compliant, not for sale or use on vehicles certified for the state of California. Consult your state or local authority for any additional clarification. Replacement of catalytic converters (if equipped) is allowed only under the following conditions: 1) if the vehicle is missing a converter; 2) if a state or local inspection program has determined the existing converter has been lead-poisoned or damaged or otherwise needs replacement; or 3) if the vehicle is more than five (5) years old or has more than 50,000 miles and a legitimate need for replacement has been established and documented. This product only fits those vehicles as listed in the application table. All aFe headers and Mid-Pipe systems are engineered and manufactured in our Corona, California manufacturing facility.
