Valvetronic Valved Sport Exhaust System - Stainless Steel - Black Tips - 3.5 Outlet (BMW.E9X.M3.AXL.BR.BLK) - 2008-2011 BMW E90 M3 / 2008-2013 BMW E92-E93 M3
The BMW E9X M3 is one of the most celebrated M platforms ever built, powered by the legendary naturally aspirated S65 V8. While the factory exhaust system leaves much of the engines true character hidden, the Valvetronic Designs Valved Sport Exhaust System V2 unlocks the aggressive, exotic tone enthusiasts expect while maintaining the comfort and refinement needed for daily driving.
Version 2 of the Valvetronic Designs exhaust system introduces major improvements in both valve reliability and acoustic refinement by utilizing proven vacuum-actuated valve technology. Built from premium T304 stainless steel with fully mandrel-bent tubing, this exhaust system delivers improved flow, sharper throttle response, and full control over exhaust volume at the push of a button. Finished with stealth-inspired black exhaust tips and designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade, this system transforms both the sound and appearance of the E9X M3 platform.
