The Evolution exhaust system for the BMW M3 consists of flow optimized link pipes and an ?X? pipe that incorporates high flow 100 cpsi sports catalysts and integrated resonators. A pair of newly developed dual-outlet mufflers completes the kit. The entire system is made from Titanium and reduces the overall weight when compared to stock by an incredible 24 kg/53 lbs.!
