The BMW M3 exhaust system simply vents waste gases from the cylinders of the engine. It consists of several components, all of which are designed to remove the unburned fuel and reduce polluting emissions. If your BMW M3 exhaust system is not functioning properly, it can adversely effect your vehicle's engine performance.

The BMW M3 exhaust system starts with the exhaust manifold, also known as the header. This collects exhaust gas from the cylinders.

From there, the gas goes through the catalytic converter, which removes pollutants such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrous oxides by the use of a platinum "catalyst" which captures excess atoms. When this is defective, your BMW M3 will emit foul smelling exhaust, and may fail to meet many state and local emissions standards. The next part of the BMW M3 exhaust system is the muffler, which of course reduces the noise of the cylinder explosions. When the muffler is defective or damaged, the result will be an ear-shattering din that sounds very much like a legion of hell's own lawnmowers - which could put your BMW M3 vehicle in violation of several local noise ordinances. The exhaust then exits through the tip, or tailpipe. Any of these components may suffer damage or wear from extreme road conditions and should be inspected periodically.
