Need an oem s pipe

TNZ4MC · 12-22-2011, 09:27 AM

Where is the best place to source an oem s pipe for a 2006 z4m? So far I have been unable to locate one from online parts stores. Any help is greatly appreciated.

They pop up on online forums every so often. What do you have now that you are trying to replace? If it's just damaged, I'd look at the DKF S pipe.

TNZ4MC · 12-22-2011, 10:51 AM

It is damaged and I need to find a replacement as soon as possible.

How'd THAT happen?

Holy hell, that looks horrendous!

need a story on this one please...

TNZ4MC · 12-22-2011, 12:51 PM

Well I was leaving a parking lot the other night and it was so dark that I happened to drive over one of the cement curbs with my right wheel landing the s pipe on the cement. Thankfully this was the only piece to get damaged. Here is the rest of the exhaust out of the car...

I am having a rather difficult time finding a section one for my car. Does anyone know if the e46 m3 section will fit on our cars?

mfanatic325 · 12-27-2011, 09:48 AM

It will not unfortunately. The only thing we share in common with the E46 M3 in terms of exhaust are the headers.

OE section1s are typically kept for purposes of reverting back to stock in the future.

If you still have primary cats I would recomend having and exhaust shop fabricate an S pipe. You will come out MUCH cheaper.

This. Or you could buy a Supersprint S pipe.

ZStig · 12-27-2011, 12:01 PM

hard to fabricate that section near the cat, with the increasing radius. Your best bet is car-parts.com . That piece is worth about $400

Too bad, I just sold one. Though mine was uncatted/unresonated (which isn't recommended for anyone that already has primary cats removed; since there'd be too much rasp). But that setup is worth it for the power up top

Well because it was getting too insanely expensive to get an oem piece I decided to go with a set of euro headers and cats! Thinking about getting ESS software as well.
