Turner Motorsport BMW Exhaust Parts, Mufflers & Catalytic Converters

Finally the answer to your E36 exhaust woes! Upgrade from your old, crusty or quiet exhaust that lacks the OOMPH you want to hear when stepping on the gas. Our crew at Turner have been describing this exhaust with words like “symphony” and “hearty” with its smooth and low frequency tone. This is the kind of exhaust we stand outside and listen to as our residential test vehicle rolls out from work heading off in the distance while singing the oh so sweet straight six sound.

Our new E36 cat back is a tribute to the E36 M3 in more ways than one. The exhaust features 90s styling exhaust tips to compliment the sharp yet rudimentary body lines. Just like the E36 our exhaust was designed to be raw, straight to the point, lightweight and timeless.

To accomplish these goals our engineers rev’d up their creativity and went straight to work. Adapting straight to the mid-pipes our engineers transformed the lackluster 2.0” tubing and stepped up to a true-dual 2.5” exhaust with an integrated x-pipe to smooth out the flow and fine tune the exhaust note just how we wanted. Towards the rear of the vehicle you will find a light-weight and perfectly spec’d muffler featuring fabricated sheet metal hangers, slash cut integrated tips and achieves a fine-tuned exhaust note.
We can only hope the community enjoys this exhaust as much as we at Turner enjoy it. As a part of the community, we are excited to offer this awesome exhaust for all to enjoy.

Non-M Fitment:
?Although we designed this exhaust specifically for the M3 model we felt it was a shame to rob this exhaust opportunity from the Non-M E36 owners. Face it, every straight six deserves a sweet exhaust. If you or your fellow enthusiasts feel so inclined our exhaust can be fitted to all standard 6 cylinder E36s. ** For non-m E36s you will have to slightly bend the exhaust hangers to get perfect fitment in the non-m rear bumper/diffuser. **

Why the upgrade?

By now your E36 M3 is approaching 30 years of age and you have a few possible exhaust situations:

- One of the options is you still have the factory exhaust and it is at the end of its life, it could be covered in rust and unsightly or packed solid with soot deposits which is not helping the weight, flow or tone of your exhaust.

- A second option is that you have an aftermarket exhaust that you fitted years ago and it is seeing the same fate as the factory muffler just at an expedited rate, the muffler is no longer sounding or performing the same and needs to be swapped out.

- Another probable exhaust situation you could find yourself in is that you have an exhaust fitted on your M3 that you think sounds good and had no intentions of changing it but after seeing and hearing our Axle Back exhaust you find yourself wanting a new look, sound, and sense of enjoyment from driving your E36.

Among the many reasons enthusiasts flock to the S58 is its unmistakable exhaust character. BMW’s twin-turbocharged inline-six delivers a fierce, motorsport-inspired snarl at wide-open throttle—yet the factory mid-section muffles much of that personality. The stock resonator and restrictive flow path tame the soundtrack, muting the aggressive tone your G87 M2 is capable of producing.

Turner Motorsport set out to change that. Their Resonator Delete transforms the factory system with a direct bolt-on mid-section engineered to free both sound and performance. By removing the bulky OEM resonator, integrating a true x-pipe, and shedding roughly 5 lbs of unnecessary weight, this upgrade enhances exhaust scavenging, sharpens throttle response, and unleashes a deeper, more engaging tone. Best of all, it retains full compatibility with the OEM downpipes and valved rear muffler—delivering a noticeable sound improvement while preserving factory functionality and easy reversibility.

Features:

Deeper, more aggressive exhaust note with added character and minimal drone

X-pipe design promotes efficient exhaust scavenging for improved flow

Maintains factory valved muffler operation and OEM-plus refinement

Approximately 5 lb weight reduction vs. the stock center resonator

Brushed 304 stainless steel construction with clean TIG-welded seams

Design:

1.25 mm-wall brushed 304 stainless steel tubing

76.2 mm (3") diameter

304SS sleeve-style and Accuseal clamps with slip-joint adjustability

Installation:

Installation is as easy as cutting your factory exhaust, raising the new center resonator delete into position, and clamping. Click HERE for Installation Instructions. Product Development:

Our Resonator Delete/X-Pipe was designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research and Development team at Turner. Nothing but the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long-term product testing.

Here at Turner Motorsport, we've loved the E39 540i for a long time. Our engineering team gathered around one and thought, "how can we make this better?" Muffler deletes are among the most drastic improvements an enthusiast can make to his or her M62 powered vehicle. BMW V8s sound incredible without the factory muffler. We wanted to offer an extremely high quality, 304 stainless steel muffler delete that you could install yourself - so we did. Our Turner Muffler deletes are CAD designed in-house, ensuring that each unit has integrated hangers and is mandrel bent to precisely fit in the factory exhaust location. Additionally, we added a turn down if you aren't interested in aftermarket tips - however, there's a cut line to add tips as well.

Features:

Turner designed Rear Muffler Delete - made of T304 stainless steel, 1.25mm wall thickness, CNC mandrel bent 2.75" tubing for straight-through exhaust gas routing

Tig-welded exhaust hangers that fit into the factory location for direct fitment

Stainless steel Accuseal exhaust clamps are included for a leak-proof seal

Large radius bends throughout provide smooth transitions for the best flow possible

KIT Options Include:

Muffler delete section

Dual 3.0" exhaust tips (select your finish)

Engineered to perfection, your new exhaust system sheds a remarkable 42 pounds, providing a substantial 60% reduction in weight compared to the factory setup. Freeing up the weight is great, but the real magic lies in its upgraded mufflers, featuring a straight-through design that minimizes backpressure while delivering a captivating, aggressive exhaust note with minimal rasp. Lighter and freer-flowing, this exhaust system is the ultimate embodiment of performance. Not to overlook even the smallest detail, our engineers were able to keep the OEM angle of the exhaust tips in the rear valance (angled 5 degrees upward).

Why did we choose to make an exhaust upgrade for Z3M? When shopping for performance BMWs tailored for autocross or other motorsports endeavors, buyers often gravitate toward the revered M3 lineup. Initially, attention is drawn to the E36 and E46 M3 models, which feature epic motors such as the S52 and S54. However, among the motorsport vehicles, the Z3M tends to be overshadowed in BMW's performance lineup. True enthusiasts like yourself know that the Z3M not only shares the 50/50 weight distribution and rigid chassis like the other M cars, but it also comes loaded with the epic motors sought after in the E36 and E46 M3. If you are fortunate enough to own a Z3M, you're already in possession of one of the legendary S52 or S54 motors! Cherish your Z3M and enlighten the community about just how awesome these vehicles are with a great-looking and sounding exhaust!

Curious about upgrading your Z3's exhaust but not entirely convinced? Let's look into the installation process of your new lightweight performance exhaust. It's a breeze. Simply lift/your car up, support your mufflers, and unbolt the factory axle-back. Once the bulky factory exhaust is out of the picture, your new Turner exhaust seamlessly bolts onto the factory mid pipes and hangers. If you have any questions or hiccups during install we have a helpful installation guide found below!

Upgrading the sound:

This exhaust allows you to turn up the volume and let the 4 cylinder boast its smooth and hearty exhaust tone. Let's be honest, what's the point of owning a f chassis if you're not going to upgrade the exhaust? Turner's signature muffler design allows you to transfer the exhaust valve from your factory system directly onto your new Turner system. The Turner exhaust signature muffler design allows for two flow paths that change both tone and volume. With the vehicle in eco or comfort mode, the valves remain closed, with the closed valves the exhaust system allows the gasses to flow through the muffler toning down the volume and giving a more refined exhaust note. While in driving modes sport or sport+ the valve opens and the flow path changes to a "straight flow path" essentially turning into a straight-piped exhaust for the least amount of restriction and the most amount of B48 sound!

Our new E36 Axle Back Exhaust is a versatile exhaust offering a number of options for E36 owners. With the factory exhaust you can upgrade to having valve control for different tone and volume options on the fly. For the fully upgraded or turbo owners this exhaust features a 2.0" to 3.0" exhaust pipe conversion and full 3.0" valved muffler that can be used with a custom full 3.0" exhaust.

When it comes to shopping for exhausts you want to find one that suits your driving style and sound preference. While one part of you wants to have a loud and aggressive sounding exhaust, there is another part of you that knows you don't want to wake up the neighborhood or annoy your significant other. Finally the answer to your dilemma, thanks to our engineers at Turner you no longer need to choose between rowdy and tame. With your new light-weight performance exhaust you have the option to go from tame and tasteful to loud and rowdy.

Our Valved exhaust was designed specifically for your E36 and there are no other options on the market like this. Control the tone and volume of your exhaust with the click of a button. With the valves closed you have a nice low tone and hearty exhaust note. When the valves are open you get complete unrestricted access to sound and power for when your at the track or just in the mood to let it rip.

Our Turner axleback features dual 2.0" to 3.0" adapter that connects directly to your factory mid-pipes. From the adapter is full 3.0" exhaust piping with a smooth flow path to lower back pressure which leads to increased performance and a smoother exhaust tone. The 3.0" rear exhaust section flows into a full 3" valved muffler. The muffler features integrated 3" exhaust tips for an aggressive look that fills out your rear diffuser to get the perfect appearance.

New in 2023 you have two new options for E36 exhausts, our Turner valved and non valved axle back exhaust setups. With our Non Valved Axle-Back you achieve a happy medium of volume and tone but without the ability to adjust the volume. Our Valved Axle-Back is another variation and a true weapon, not only does it have the option to fit to your factory exhaust system but it is also the clear option for those looking to make a full 3.0" exhaust. After putting together the front 3.0" exhaust section you can assemble it with our Turner Valved Axle-Back for not only a full custom 3.0" exhaust but also have the luxury of volume control all with perfectly paired integrated 90's styled exhaust tips that fill out the rear valance with perfect proportions.

The wait is finally over, if you have been driving your E46 M3 around with a stock exhaust or are looking for your final exhaust setup we have you covered! Welcome to the world of ingenious designed exhausts that can meet your every driving need. Our new E46 M3 catback Exhaust is a stunning example of both engineering and art with sounds to please your ears and a sight to remember. Our catback is a lightweight and free-flowing exhaust that features two independent valved mufflers and an ingenious mounting system that is a pleasure to install and easy to perfectly dial in the exhaust fitment. Weighing 19lbs or less than your factory exhaust, featuring mufflers specifically designed for the S54 this exhaust is able to provide two completely different driving experiences.

With the exhaust valves closed the refined driving experience will blow your mind; while daily driving with closed valves there is a perfect bump in volume over the factory exhaust which allows you to hear and feel your rpms with a smooth exhaust note that shows your true passion for your iconic vehicle. Now on to the real action, what you have always wanted but never wanted to commit to. Some days you just want to put the pedal to the floor with unlimited amounts of exhaust volume with your high revving 6 cylinder. Here is your opportunity to unleash the pure sound of your S54 while having the choice to change back to a respectable volume exhaust. With the valves open this exhaust is an absolute mental, untamable racecar. Starting off from a stop with the valves open there is a significant increase in volume over the valves closed. When entering in to the 2000 rpm range you begin to experience the slightest taste of how satisfying the exhaust is going to sound. As you approach 4,000 rpms and higher you now have started to open up the can of worms, you can feel the free flowing path of the exhaust with limited to no resistance, far superior to the factory exhaust. Anything after 6500 rpms is an absolute statement of exhaust. Over 6500 rpm is a sonorous note that lives rent free in the enthusiasts mind that can make a believer out of anyone who doubted the capable E46 M3. Once you are done having your fun and have experienced your S54 more than you ever have all you do is make one button click on your valve controller and you are back to high class and refinement. Truly the best of both worlds and a school girl giggling experience anytime you want.
