The all-new TSE3 is the absolute best performance exhaust system for '99-'06 E46 330, 328, 325 and 323 models (i, Ci, iT - not for Xi). It continues the fundamental design of TSE2 as a full dual cat-back design, however the TSE3 is unique in that CORSA Performance was engaged to design and manufacture the exhaust. Thanks to this unique partnership, the TSE3 is available exclusively through UUC.
CORSA is one of the largest automotive and high-end marine exhaust tuning companies in the USA with engineering and manufacturing facilities in Ohio and a patented, proprietary technology called Reflective Sound Cancellation™. CORSA consults to General Motors, Ford and Daimler-Chrysler and carries the title of "official licensed product" on its GM aftermarket exhaust systems.
The result of the UUC and CORSA partnership is a drone-free exhaust system, delivering a pleasant sound at idle and cruise and a muscular roar at high rpm. Test vehicles for this development program included the 330i Steptronic, whose transmission programming "lugs" the engine at low rpm, resulting in a high potential for drone. CORSA tuned the TSE3 specifically to counter that situation and the results are impressive.
