Rogue Engineering X-Pipe (section 2) for the BMW M3 (e46)

X Marks the Spot
Rogue is excited to finally release information on their much anticipated Section 2 X-Pipe for the M3 (e46). Like all Rogue products, they wanted to ensure that their new section 2 X-pipe was high-quality and functional.

Whereas the factory section 2 utlitizes two 60mm diameter tubes, with an "H" crossover and small resonator, the Rogue X-pipe maximizes gas velocity by merging the two smaller tubes into one larger 76mm tube before splitting back into two before the rear muffler. This efficient system allows for gas velocity to equalize from cylinders 1-3 and 4-6, before entering the muffler chamber. This exhaust merge improves sound as well as gas velocity.

Look! It's magic!
As an added feature, Rogue has incorporated an external "dump" at the end of the X-pipe for total user controllable sound. The optional EVC valve allows the user to control the exhaust sound from stock (completely closed) to racebike loud (completely open) from within the inside the cabin of their M3 (e46). It takes only 5 seconds to go from fully open to fully closed.
