Developed for 91–99 BMW 3-Series 316i/318i (E36) with the 1.6/1.8 engine (M40/M43), this sports-cat section combines performance-oriented pipework with a catalytic core in an application-specific assembly.

Formed from 3-inch stainless steel pipework with TIG-welded joints, this section pairs freer-flowing pipework with a performance catalyst to support stronger flow and engine response.
