Exhaust manifold for BMW E30, E36 4-cylinder M42 1.8 IS – a key element in engine tuning
Why replace the exhaust manifold when tuning your BMW E30 / E36?
During engine tuning of the BMW E30 or E36 with the M42 1.8 IS engine, one of the most important components to replace early on is the exhaust manifold. It is responsible for properly directing exhaust gases from the cylinders, and its design directly affects engine performance and efficiency.
The exhaust gases generated during engine operation go directly to the exhaust manifold, which is an integral part of the exhaust system. From there, they flow through the downpipe, then to the muffler or multiple mufflers, and finally to the tailpipe. A high-quality BMW M42 exhaust manifold improves exhaust gas flow, thus increasing the engine's overall efficiency.
