One will experience a high smell of unburnt fuel. (due to the open exhaust w\/o any catalysts) and development of a RASPY like sound of which the BMW S54 engine is notorious for with the BMW Stock Section 1 when equipped. This raspy like sound is a matter of engine sound harmonics at a specific RPM range, a sort of resonance that is very loud and noticeable when the engine is revving at or above 4,000 rpm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the BMW section 1 - where the RASP like noise emits from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp aria-level=\"0\" aria-posinset=\"0\" aria-setsize=\"0\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"BMW SECTION 1 for Rasp Elimination on BMW E46 M3\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/5357\/files\/double_pipe_2_small.jpg?1693\" width=\"114\" height=\"76\"\u003eWith the Active Autowerke Exhaust SECTION 1 installed, the BMW performance gains are about the same as running the factory section 1. However, that's impressive considering the exhaust flow is also being filtered while running through a pair of GESI G-Sport catalysts which are EPA registered. The power and performance is still there. We utilize the same method as the European models and provide a set of cables to allow the post cat O2 sensors to be placed in the section 1 after the Cats - this results in no CEL due to Cat efficiency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGone is the smell of unburnt fuel. \u003cstrong\u003eA BIG advantage.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGone is the RASP like sound. \u003cstrong\u003eAnother BIG advantage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp aria-level=\"0\" aria-posinset=\"0\" aria-setsize=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp aria-level=\"0\" aria-posinset=\"0\" aria-setsize=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp aria-level=\"0\" aria-posinset=\"0\" aria-setsize=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp aria-level=\"0\" aria-posinset=\"0\" aria-setsize=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp aria-level=\"0\" aria-posinset=\"0\" aria-setsize=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cstrong aria-level=\"0\" aria-posinset=\"0\" aria-setsize=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cstrong aria-level=\"0\" aria-posinset=\"0\" aria-setsize=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cstrong aria-level=\"0\" aria-posinset=\"0\" aria-setsize=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong aria-level=\"0\" aria-posinset=\"0\" aria-setsize=\"0\"\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and recommended for Off Road Use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses EPA registered GESI metallic exhaust catalysts for emission control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo unburnt fuel like smell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNO RASP like sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNO CEL due to Cat efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes O2 sensor extension cables for post Cat sensors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrushed Finish for that industrial appeal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstructed from 100% 304 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUtilizes factory mounting points for easy bolt-on install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo year warranty with Free Tech support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/5357\/files\/pdf-icon_small.png?1054\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Active Autowerke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47870512824476,"sku":"11-010","price":2299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/3206\/5436\/files\/double_pipe_4_779443e3-c211-4e60-9f05-649c452e96af.jpg?v=1791760396","url":"https:\/\/daroracing.com\/products\/bmw-e46-m3-exhaust-section-1-with-gesi-ultra-high-flow-catalysts","provider":"Daro Racing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
