Rogue Engineering DMS Exhaust System Like all Rogue Engineering products, the DMS exhaust system is entirely designed and developed in the US in our facility in Hohokus, NJ. By doing the development, fitting, evaluation and testing here, you're assure a product that not only looks and sounds great, but a product you can have installed with confidence. In testing, replacing only a muffler or even the complete exhaust system on an E36 yields small measurable gains. Of course, these minute gains may be depicted on a carefully constructed dyno chart. Rogue Engineering looks at an exhaust with reality in mind, designing our exhaust to deliver great looks and sound, with minimal issues of fit. Of course, all of this at an affordable price would be a bonus. These are features that the Rogue Engineering DMS deliver!
For real world exhaust performance gains, this typically means replacing the largest restriction, the catalytic converters, located in the factory exhaust manifolds. From there, free flow aftermarket catalytic converters could be added downstream, after the exhaust gas velocity had an opportunity to accelerate out of the engine, allowing for the most LEGAL gas velocity allowable. This course of action, however, is typically can exceed more than $3000 plus installation.
Replacing the ENTIRE factory exhaust system (resonators and rear muffler) with larger tubing WITHOUT addressing the largest restriction is an exercise in futility. This kind of exhaust ""upgrade"" will generally cost needless additional installation charges, fit issues (can 6 clamps on an exhaust REALLY fit like factory?), and ultimately, drain your wallet faster than a Bugatti Veyron.
DMS Features Just because the DMS exhaust system is easy on the wallet does not mean you are getting short changed.
- Full T-304 Stainless Steel construction
- Mandrel bent, dual 57mm tubing (stock is dual 50mm) eliminates center resonator, allowing for increased air flow yielding positive performance gains.
- Mill-finished pipes and muffler, mirror polished dual 3"" staggered RACE tips fits most aftermarket bumpers (Hamann, MTech, AC Schnitzer)
- Entire exhaust utilizes TIG welded construction
- Maintains BMW factory warranty
- Rogue Engineering logo tastefully welded onto the top of the muffler
- Can be clamped or welded (because factory exhaust must be cut, professional installation recommended)
By using a more conventionally shaped muffler, we are able to spend more time fine tune the exhaust flow and sound being emitted from the exhaust. Unlike other companies that offer ""muffler-only"" solutions for E46 applications, we have found through our research and polling, that many of these systems are simply too quiet, not allowing enough sound to be emitted.
Although we do not produce BMW intake systems, we recognize the popularity and their use in conjunction with an exhaust system.
