On later models, the primary catalytic converters are integrated directly into the OEM manifolds, further restricting exhaust flow. These limitations make the factory setup an ideal candidate for improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupersprint exhaust headers are engineered as a direct replacement for the factory manifolds on 1997–2003 BMW E39 540i and E39 M5 models. Featuring a fully tubular design with precision merge collectors, these headers significantly improve exhaust scavenging and flow efficiency. When paired with Supersprint sport catalytic converters, real-world testing has shown gains of up to 30 horsepower at the wheels on an otherwise stock E39 M5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the measurable performance gains, Supersprint headers are known for their exceptional fitment and build quality. Each set is designed and manufactured in Italy using premium materials, ensuring proper clearance, long-term durability, and consistent results across all compatible vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1955, Supersprint has built its reputation by engineering complete exhaust solutions rather than individual components. Every system is developed to deliver the optimal balance of performance, sound quality, and reliability, making Supersprint a trusted choice for BMW Motorsport engines worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft-hand drive (LHD) exhaust headers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and manufactured in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT304 stainless steel construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTubular header design with merge collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with OEM catalytic converters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupersprint design patent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ind-distribution.com\/collections\/5-series-e39\"\u003e1997–2003 BMW E39 540i\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ind-distribution.com\/collections\/m5-e39\"\u003e1997–2003 BMW E39 M5\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ind-distribution.com\/collections\/7-series-e38\"\u003eBMW E38 740i (left-hand drive)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ind-distribution.com\/pages\/faq#emissions\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEMISSIONS NOTICE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IND Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42390997860437,"sku":"786801","price":3361.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0074\/3702\/5395\/files\/kies-motorsports-ind-distribution-supersprint-e39-m5-540i-e38-740i-stainless-exhaust-manifold-lhd-1231901458.jpg?v=1775848186","url":"https:\/\/www.kiesmotorsports.com\/products\/supersprint-e39-m5-540i-e38-740i-stainless-exhaust-manifold-lhd","provider":"Kies Motorsports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
