BMW Performance Headers & Downpipes for BMW Z3 (1996-2002)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Headers are a bolt-on component that will make a huge improvement in how your BMW performs. As a replacement for your factory BMW exhaust manifold, our BMW headers provide a more direct path for exhaust gasses leaving your engine. Headers prevent your BMW's exhaust pulses from 'fighting' one another as they leave the head. The end result is that BMW headers give you more power and torque, and you'll love the high-winding top end push that a free-breathing engine exhibits. BMW headers are a must-have if you're doing any engine modifications on your vehicle. Along with a cold air intake, BMW headers provide the free-flowing exhaust necessary to get the most power out of your motor.

The Supersprint headers are among the best on the market for making the most top-end power on the M50/S50US engines. These are a long-tube equal length design which maximizes airflow for excellent power gains. On their own these can be good for 12-15hp (and more with other modifications). These are the real deal stainless steel headers with beautiful construction and design (often copied for cheap auction sites but made from mild steel).

Supersprint exhaust is widely recognized as the leader in complete exhaust system upgrades - extremely high quality, well designed for optimal flow, and amazing sound. Even at a premium price Supersprint is an unbeatable exhaust design because every aspect is done to such a high level. Most Supersprint systems are built with larger diameter piping to improve exhaust flow which helps the engine do less work and make more horsepower! Supersprint exhausts generally run at a premium over other systems but no other system on the market can match their quality, performance, or reputation!

The catalytic converter is an emissions device that converts the exhaust gasses exiting the engine into a less toxic substance. This is achieved through the internal honeycomb monolith, washcoat, and the catalyst itself that commonly consists of a mix of precious metals. Unfortunately the catalytic converters do not last forever, and can be damaged if the engine is running too rich on fuel. If you're getting an oxygen sensor fault, and the sensor is ok, the likely cause is a failed catalytic converter. Relieve worry about an upcoming emissions test and replace your faulty or damaged catalytic converter.

Replace your faulty or damaged catalytic converter with this high-quality unit designed for BMW vehicles. The catalytic converter plays a crucial role in reducing exhaust emissions by converting harmful gases into less toxic substances. It utilizes an internal honeycomb monolith, washcoat, and a catalyst composed of precious metals to achieve this. However, catalytic converters can degrade over time or get damaged if the engine runs too rich on fuel. If you encounter an oxygen sensor fault and the sensor itself is functional, a failed catalytic converter might be the issue.

  • Stainless Steel Construction: Ensures durability and resistance to corrosion.
  • Federal Emissions Compliant: Meets stringent emissions regulations for peace of mind.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for both gas and diesel engines.

Ensure your BMW passes emissions tests with ease by upgrading to this reliable catalytic converter.

The catalytic converter is a crucial emissions control device designed to transform exhaust gases from your BMW engine into less harmful substances. Featuring an internal honeycomb monolith, washcoat, and a catalyst made from precious metals, this component effectively reduces toxic emissions. Over time, catalytic converters can degrade, especially if the engine runs rich on fuel. A malfunctioning catalytic converter may trigger an oxygen sensor fault, even if the sensor itself is functional.

To ensure your BMW passes emissions tests and maintains optimal performance, consider replacing a damaged or faulty catalytic converter.

  • Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Ensures long-lasting performance and resistance to harsh conditions.
  • Federal Emissions Compliant: Meets regulatory standards for reduced environmental impact.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for both gas and diesel engines, providing a broad range of compatibility.
