Installing The Best Sounding BMW E46 M3 Exhaust That You Cant' Have (Today)

Now that my cheap BMW E46 M3 is in perfect driving condition it was time to start adding mods. First thing on the list was to swap out the stock, raspy (and somewhat silent) exhaust for a more desirable one. After weeks of research, I narrowed down my exhaust option to one made by Rogue Engineering. It was hard to get my hands on one, but when I finally did, it was so worth it!

i fw the effort you out into this video, super hyped to get my hands on the m3 to hear great tunes on the road😂😂

[@brucepeninsula2036]

No mans. Just one man.

[@billthompson5644]

Just remember the harbor freight jack stands are having a recall because they fail under pressure. I did not know if you were aware of that but we don't want to see you dead.

[@VehicleVirals]

Actually returned mine the same day I made this video.

[@supersoni126]

I'm having a difficult time understanding this post... 1. You're not using jack stands in this video.. youre using ramps.. 2. Why did you return them if there have been no issues put out about the pittsburg ramps?

[@SavageBunny1]

Just get Husky from home depot, they are lifetime warranty.

[@thesharperb47]

supersoni126 you’re right, the recall is only for the jack stands and it’s a particular batch. I had a set that were included in the batch range. Ramps are fine, guess he wanted that $30 back haha

[@VehicleVirals]

@supersoni126 Before buying the ramps I was in possession of the jack stands that were recalled. The same day I filmed the video I returned the jack stands and purchased the Pittsburgh ramps.

[@evolvingguy2766]

I love how it sounds that must get addicting can’t wait for the header install

[@VehicleVirals]

Very addicting!

[@PrecisionSportIndustries]

The best exhaust choice! ❤️🤘🏼

[@xtreme3484]

That sounds good can’t wait for the next setup

[@BrianRoediger]

MAD props for waiting for the engine to warm up. A true E46 M3 enthusiast and caring owner. Even more proud I bought your shirt last year. 😁. Keep up the great work!

[@SteveWeltman]

Sounds amazing Christian. Great choice! TY for uploading.

[@C_deluuna]

My e46 m3 has the Diablo exhaust, all the so cal peeps ask what my set up was given it makes it sound way more beefy. Didnt know it was that rare of a exhaust now, thanks for doing the m3 justice with this set up 💯

[@matthoehnen980]

Deep over raspy is this viewer's preference. Glad you can still hear the lovely intake sound. On a separate note, please consider turning your dash lights on when filming exhaust and intake sound so viewers can see the RPMs on the tach. Thanks Christian.

[@aznerol0770]

It sounds great. Also, I love the guys at PSI, but it's always nice getting to see you wrench on your cars yourself. Keep it coming, bro.

[@USM3C]

Tips look great, and the exhaust sounds sweet. It's going to sound so much better with the catless headers. Looking forward to hearing that. This may be the route I take with mine.

[@typejlb]

Exhaust sounds sick bro! Great choice. 👍🏼

[@md_randoms2429]

Those pants weren’t a good choice

[@filipwennergren2712]

Nice!!! Keep up the good work man! Greatings from Stockholm Sweden.

loving the touches on this m3. slowly getting mine where I want it!

[@carsbikes4520]

So much better!!! Nice video bro 😁 can't w8 next one 😁

[@riseupstudios12]

DIY guys right here I installed my axle backs on my 2012 mustang in my parents drive way I used the same things used ramps and wheel chucks did it myself luckily my exhaust wasn’t heavy it was 2 different pieces it was a pain though

[@yashivbangtu5852]

The best sounding e46 m3 I've heard! ❤️

[@rossellcastillo9838]

Love the vids keep em coming !!

[@turbosmike2046]

Before watching I said “if it’s not Rogue he’s lying” 😂 Good tase man!

[@zartosht06]

I liked the video, no clickbait thumbnail, no over dramatic nonsense, no cheesy music. keep it up.

[@Wergrun]

Compared to your old one it sounds GOOOOD!!! I wish I could hear in person but just over video there was a big difference!!

[@menaceIIsociety187]

Snap changing in 3rd 👌🏽 Exhaust sounds sweet

[@bunabuna9287]

100% improvement sounds mint!!!

[@minesaver]

Damn that sounds dope. Props for not taching out a cold engine.

[@JohnnyDaines]

Bro good idea to have the shop do the headers. I did the headers on mine a few years ago and man it was easily one of the most annoying things I’ve ever done in my life, definitely worth the money to have the pros do it

[@MREric-si8ud]

Really very nice video and after the install - very nice sound!! Best regards from Germany

[@yofresh15]

That sound is so SATISFYING!!! it’s incredible! 💪🏾😎💯

[@VehicleVirals]

👊🏼

[@willy7813]

Deep sound close to akrapovic exhaust tone , good choose bro enjoy it.

[@joshuawalker5044]

I agree, I think this is one of the best exhausts for the s54. Sounds awesome man 👌

[@JosipM333]

Sound is amazing 💪

[@DenizPain]

It is rly a good mix between the motor sound and the exhaust sound but not over all to loud! Top!

[@DonBMW]

Wow! Totally purchasing this exhaust for my 06 M3. Car is great all around, but always felt like that exhaust could be a little better. Thanks!

[@MidWestMX]

Sounds so sick!

[@VehicleVirals]

🙌🏼

[@paulpateman3968]

Love this channel the content is awesome 😎

[@MTheroy]

This is wild! Had one 15 years ago can’t believe they still make this exhaust by far the best on this car! I had the Diablo R or whatever it was had larger diameter piping but look the same. Even back then these were really hard to get your hands on.

[@danielg.2428]

You were sooo lucky with this car.... awsome deal. Wish you to enjoy this car as long as you have it... And many thanks for good bmw cotent.

[@mabschoudhury8404]

Looks Perfect

[@My_Fault]

Clean car, and awesome choice for section 3. Definitely get a rasp eliminator pipe or install a set of AERO resonators in section 1 after you install the AA headers!

[@819productionz4life]

I don't like the loud aftermarket Exhaust but I have to say I think you won me over with the sound of that exhaust for my E46 M3. GREAT JOB

[@819productionz4life]

Keep me posted if they offer any discount for promoting their exhaust

[@josephfregoso592]

Hell yeah nice deep tone!!! I love it

[@VehicleVirals]

Yasss!

[@markelljones6357]

That exhaust sounds good bro!! Nice choice!!!! 6 speed manual is so fun in a Beamer

[@greggallucci607]

I haven't always agreed with your E46 M3 content, like the manual conversion that simply didn't pass the financial sniff test. That being said, what I appreciate the most about your videos is your great attention to detail in performing the mods. And this one is killer. Damn, for the first time I truly have exhaust envy, both in the sound and the look (those tips are awesome!) and will avoid walking around the rear of mine and its pathetic stock setup for at least a week because of you. Thanks a lot haha!

[@VehicleVirals]

You literally made me laugh out loud man. Good job. Appreciate you watching.

[@ultimatum127]

Sounds awesome! I would look into an AR20 mid-muffler if you want to remove some of the rasp but still give hints of it at higher rpms! Give it a much deeper tone up to 4K. Some people run 2 in parallel, but that completely eliminates the rasp, one is what I believe is the best option imo!

[@despWK]

beautiful sound

[@irshangill7582]

Love your videos

[@NickelArcade123]

El Diablo is the exhaust id get if I got an e46 m3. Dinan would be second choice. Congrats on the new ride !

[@HoDoo_M3]

Wow! Sound like E36 M3 Euro + SuperSprint Exhaust. Very nice sound 😃

[@ActualTrent]

Now I want an exhaust. That sounds tight!!

[@HH-dv9zi]

Looks and sounds good nice video

I have the same exhaust but also have the re rasp pipe and x pipe w/ aa headers. Love the guys at psi they installed my supercharger.

Gotta love it!

[@Vash16xli]

Those ramps remind me of the rhino ramps they sell. Good to see that the installation went well for you. I'm currently finishing up putting my valve body back on. The only problem I'm having is the wiring harness plug fighting the mechatronic sealing sleeve. Other than that, it's been relatively simple thanks to Shoplifetv.

[@sam-tp5vf]

Have the same one on my m3, great choice man

[@ghettomist1575]

Sounds much better than stock, and I’m glad you didn’t do a muffler delete because on this car they sound hideous. Sounds great 👍

[@michaelroblesmedia]

Literally sounds like need for speed, I love it

[@xbladerunner]

Nice exhaust. I went with the Eisenmann Sport Exhaust with LaMans Cut 83mm Tips - E46 M3. This was 19 years ago. Exhaust is still amazing to this day. Pricey though. Back then I paid like $1.3k today they sell for $2.6k

[@hr007njnnnkkmkm]

Bad ass sound amigo

[@charldewit6836]

Sounds awesome...

[@amcheung10]

Yooo my dad has the rogue engineering el diablo on his e46 m3 too! Plus some evosport headers and it sounds amazing. Great video!

Dope!

Exhaust sounds better for sure can’t wait for the catless headers it will sound really good

You have some great taste. Nice work!

[@focuskyi]

Can’t wait for the headers video

[@BrunoMezenga2408]

Cant wait for the headers. This muffler is big upgrade but it is still not good enough mainly because of stock headers. Also CSL intake would be sweet combination with these mods.

[@deadplayer5553]

Holy shit wow... sounds beautiful

[@VeronicaHernandez-ex1qr]

This is my dream car when I went to buy my first bmw I was looking for this but walked out with a e90 m3 lol one day I’m gonna get one of these.

E90 M3s are 🔥🔥

[@WaleedKhalid-gj9jt]

This car was dope and made it even more dope

[@Volvo8Fifty4Life]

Nice exhaust man. I just got a 4.10 differential for my e46 M3. It's in the shop being swapped along with subframe re-inforcement. I can hardly wait!

[@onlytrades3941]

pairing it with a manual or smg transmission? I have the gears already but nervous about installing because with a manual gearbox might be a lot of shifting

[@Volvo8Fifty4Life]

Brandon Mendonsa Manual 6spd. I did a lot of research before pulling the trigger. Lower top speed and shorter 1st but power comes on earlier.

[@rudebwoyway]

Sounds amazing can’t wait to hear it with the cat less headers

[@VehicleVirals]

Same, installing them on Saturday.

Woah there buddy He said “look at those tips there going to look So good coming out the rear end”

Hey bro, a council always puts some wheels underneath for safety, if the car for some reason falls you somehow have the wheels to protect.

[@jeremyjohn1954]

The way you said you like tips coming out the back end😂

It sounds great bro. Do you also have an intake installed here? Also hows the drone at highway cruising speeds?

tires are bad too. old

[@menaceIIsociety187]

@@justswippin2693 you are either blind or jealous

[@noobasdfjkl]

They don't really spin tire in third. It's just because the SMG has really bad clutch control.

@@noobasdfjkl This M3 doesn't have the SMG equipped.

Agreed

[@kamilmichalski7155]

Hey, how loud is that exhalation? I'm looking for something for my m3 e46 and I can't decide. Is this exhaust suitable for daytime driving and touring? what do you think of supersprint lightweight racing?

[@matthewnicholas6365]

Revisiting this video after 2 years. Ive had my exhaust on and off a few times now for different jobs. You gotta wonder who at BMW decided to make an exhaust out of granite. It's unbelievably heavy! My rear and middle are welded together too making it very hard to handle. Still, only ever had my own help, working on the floor in my garage. Usually end up with hideous bruises on my back after a day working on it.

[@sammyjames1929]

Bring on the headers! UNLEASH the beast!

[@alegueye10]

love bmw soung lovely bro

I have the agency power exhaust sounds good too

that sits nice with the standed bumper i have a eisenmann exhaust on my m3 it sticks out a little bit i need the csl carbon rear bumber part to finish it off. nice exhaust

I need that csl rear bumper as well!

Lol I love the way s54 sounds even stock

[@Avstract23]

Agency power headers with 2 ar20s in section one and the diablo muffler is the best combo for the e46 m3 the sounds is actually good but so is the full catless status gruppe exhaust

[@bigfwopl4873]

Definitely better than stock but still not a fan although vid probably doesn't do it justice. I'm glad you're happy!

[@VehicleVirals]

Sadly the camera clips the audio

[@FernandoSantos-kv1cc]

Hello. Fernando from Portugal. Very good so much better than before 👍👍 once I’ ve installed a heinsenann exhaust and I had to remove it because it was insane louder but it sounded like a f1 🏎 car 😁😁👌👌

[@s3xymuffin]

How did you get yours to fit so flush? I recently installed this on my E46, but the tips stick out a lot more. Stock bumper and diffuser.

[@realisrealite5554]

My gruppe m exhaust was the only one that sounded good with no rasp. The titanium was why it was so expensive sounded so good,lightweight and why it broke.

[@Codeman785]

You absolutely got a flaming steal getting this m3 for 3 grand even with smg issues

[@johnpickle9684]

You might have been better off with blue nylon nuts as they are heat resistant up to 300 degrees celsius. I used to use them for fitting sills on factory oven doors.
