Fabspeed BMW M3 E46 Sport Headers (2000-2006)

These Fabspeed Sport Headers replace the factory units on BMW M3 E46 models from 2000 to 2006 with long tube design for better flow and durability. Constructed from T304L stainless steel they deliver 25 whp and 28 ft-lbs torque gains while saving 3 lbs over stock headers. Enjoy a louder sharper straight-six exhaust note without factory pre-cats.

Key Features

  • Power Gains: Adds 25 whp and 28 ft-lbs torque from the S54 engine through higher flowing primaries and F1-style merge collectors
  • Weight Reduction: Saves 3 lbs or 1.4 kg compared to restrictive factory headers for improved handling and acceleration
  • Material and Construction: CNC mandrel-bent T304L stainless steel ensures corrosion resistance and long life with 1-piece primary tubes
  • Exhaust Sound: Removes pre-cats for free-flowing design that amplifies the signature BMW inline-six growl
  • Easy Install: Bolt-on fitment requires no cutting or welding perfect for DIY on left-hand drive E46 M3

Product Notes

  • Verify local laws before installation as not CARB or EPA certified
