Mufflers for BMW M3

A muffler makes up part of the exhaust system and is designed to reduce the noise level of the engine and provide a path for the exhaust fumes to be redirected. Some are also designed to alter the sound of the exhaust and use different methods and designs to dampen the sound. There are different types of mufflers available for your BMW M3.

What types of mufflers are available?
  • Chambered: This style uses a series of chambers inside the muffler to reduce exhaust noise. The number and size of the chambers can vary by design.
  • Turbo: These use a series of perforated tubes that move the exhaust fumes through an S-shaped tubing.
  • Straight-through: This design allows the exhaust to flow out with little resistance. Some models will be wrapped in fiberglass to absorb sound.
How do you select a muffler?
  • Choose a fit: You will want to know if the existing exhaust system on your car is a single or dual system. Knowing the VIN can be helpful in selecting the right size for your vehicle. When choosing a fit you will want to match the existing diameter and select a size that will fit your car.
  • Select a style: You can choose from chambered, turbo, and straight-through styles. The style that you select will determine how the damper handles the engine sounds.
  • Select a material: You can choose from a variety of styles made from stainless steel or aluminized steel. When selecting a material for your exhaust system you will want to consider durability, corrosion resistance, and design.
  • Choose a brand: If you prefer to use OEM types you will want to select from those manufactured by BMW. There are also several aftermarket options along with unbranded options.
What is the difference between OEM and performance mufflers?
  • OEM, or original equipment manufacturer, mufflers are produced by the same factory that produced the factory installed parts. OEM parts are built to the same specifications and materials as set out by the car manufacturer. OEM part numbers can be found by using the VIN for your vehicle.
  • Performance parts are made by aftermarket companies that produce exhaust systems. When selecting a performance exhaust part, you will want to choose one that will be compatible with your existing system. Performance parts can use different pipe designs and materials from OEM parts and can be used to alter the stock exhaust system.
