Do the Fabspeed Competition Link Pipes fit all E9X M3 models?

Yes. The Fabspeed Competition Link Pipes fit the E90 sedan, E92 coupe, and E93 convertible M3 built from 2008 to 2013, all powered by the 4.0L S65 V8. They install in the primary section of the factory exhaust and use the stock O2 sensor locations, so one set covers every E9X M3 bodystyle.

Will these pipes trigger a check engine light?

They can. Because these are straight-through competition pipes for closed-course use, the S65's oxygen sensors may read differently and set a check engine light on some cars. Many owners pair them with a supporting tune to manage it. They are sold for track and off-road use only, so a light does not affect their intended purpose.

What are the Fabspeed Competition Link Pipes made from?

They are manufactured from 14 to 16 gauge T304L stainless steel, CNC mandrel bent for a smooth, consistent bore. T304L is an austenitic stainless alloy that stands up to the heat and corrosion of hard track use, and the mandrel bends preserve full diameter through every curve for the freest possible flow.

Is installation a bolt-on job, or does it need cutting and welding?

It is a straightforward bolt-on. The pipes drop into the factory primary section with no cutting, welding, or fabrication, and the built-in O2 sensor bungs let the stock sensors thread right back in. Most owners with basic tools and a way to lift the car can handle the job at home in an afternoon.

Do they work with the rest of the factory exhaust?

Yes. The Competition Link Pipes bolt to the factory secondary exhaust section, so you can run them with an otherwise stock system. They also pair with a matching secondary race section if you want to open up the full exhaust path front to back for maximum flow and sound.

Are the Competition Link Pipes street legal?

No. They are intended strictly for closed-course competition and off-road use and are not CARB or EPA certified, so they are not legal for use on public roads. Confirm your local regulations before installing, and keep the factory hardware if you plan to return the car to stock.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
