Twin Silencer Exhaust "Light" - rear section

The all-new TSE3 "Light" is an affordable rear section exhaust for '00-'05 330 and 325 models (i, Ci, iT, Xi) giving a very sporting yet subdued sound. Guaranteed absolutely no cabin "drone", this exhaust is the perfect upgrade for the enthusiast driver that wants "a little more" without going for the ful TSE3 cat-back.

It continues the fundamental design of TSE3, equipped with Corsa's "RSC" Reflective Sound Cancellation technology. CORSA Performance was engaged to design and manufacture the exhaust. Thanks to this unique partnership, the TSE3 "Light" 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.


How does it work?

Reflective Sound-Cancellation™ (RSC™) - a non-electrical noise control system without the complication of incorporating the use of electronics or speakers. Essentially, engine sound (pressure) waves are reflected in passages inside the muffler to cancel out unwanted sound waves. The result is a "tuned" muffler that "cleans up" the noise without eliminating the pure sound of power associated with a high-performance vehicle. Using this Corsa technology, the stainless steel Corsa Performance line of mufflers are tuned to eliminate passenger cabin resonance and produce just the "right" sound. .

The Corsa Performance muffler design does not use conventional packing materials, and provides a totally un-restrictive exhaust flow for maximum power output.

The TSE3 Light is fully emissions-legal in all 50 states.

Construction enhancements include 100% mandrel-bent pipes and TIG-welded seams. This rear muffler requires cutting of the original system. Fully illustrated instructions included.
