Product details
OVERVIEW
aFe POWER's MACH Force-Xp cat-back exhaust system for the E90 M3 is constructed of 2.50" diameter, mandrel-bent, TIG-welded 304 stainless steel with a hand-brushed finish, and uses all factory mounting locations for an approximate one-hour install. In aFe's testing the system produced +12 horsepower and +11 lbs. x ft. of torque.
This race-inspired system is 15 lbs. lighter than the factory exhaust. Dual mufflers use a single-in, dual-out free-flowing design that gives an aggressive sound at high RPM while keeping a subtle tone at cruising speeds.
The system is finished with race-tested and proven 3" carbon fiber quad tips, chosen for weight savings and a sporty look and built to withstand extreme temperatures and weather conditions. Installation requires no modifications. All aFe exhaust systems are engineered and manufactured at aFe's Corona, California facility.
