Product Details
There are a few choice words that we would use when describing this new Turner axleback but unfortunately we have to keep it PG so you will have to use your own words to describe it.
If you haven’t seen or heard the exhaust for yourself head over the the ECS Tuning YouTube page where you can see the teaser video HERE: https://youtu.be/ZkJlA_3nSho?si=Qq5NgvYOhLvwn8HG
Turner’s new E36 exhaust for the M3 is lighter, bolder, and gets right to the point. It utilizes slip fit joints that attach straight to your factory exhaust and feature integrated offset tips (with period correct styling of course!) this exhaust wastes no time or money. Mated to your factory mid-pipes, this hearty, low-toned exhaust features dual 2.5” mandrel bent stainless steel tubes with a smooth flow path and exits through a small but effective lightweight turbo-style muffler. This is the perfect combination of beauty and aggression to let out the gorgeous sounds of the perfectly engineered German masterpiece under the hood, while also reducing weight.
**Though turner designed this exhaust specifically for the M3 we decided to wander off the beaten path and try to find a solution for the “Non-M” customers.** As we all know the M tax is getting out of hand and the number of E36’s on the road are diminishing every day, there is no time to waste! After test fitting this awesome Turner Exhaust on one of our very own employee owned E36’s, we decided to remove it and bring in the very underrated 328i to have a look. After attempting to install the M3 exhaust on a non-M, we noticed that the only issue was where the muffler sat in the rear diffuser. Seeing as the muffler hangers are thin steel coated in rubber, we decided to make it work and VIOLA. With the simple task of nudging the muffler hangers to the side we effectively had a way to give the regular E36 owners (non-m) a cost-effective way into the exhaust market. For the regular 325 and 328 models, you will have to bend the muffler hangers. So, if this is asking too much, please step away and leave this exhaust for the M3’s. If you think you’re up for it, go ahead, click that add to cart button – we think it’s worth the trouble. Finally, we have one more option: if you have an E36 non-M, you can pair it with the ECS replica M3 bumper for a perfect fitment! With so many options to choose from, there is no reason every 6-cylinder E36 on the road shouldn’t have this fine piece of engineering for a glorious exhaust note that can be enjoyed both inside and outside the cabin.
