E38 728i Exhaust Manifolds

Recommended Posts

M54B30 engine is in the E28 engine bay, but unfortunately the M52 "kinda-tubular" manifolds are too short according to the mechanic. He reckons (aside from paying an exhaust place to fabricate something) the E38 728i (RHD obviously) manifolds would fit or at least give some options. 

Anyone breaking a 728i?

Last time I went, I spent 20min faffing about to realise I would never get the parts off without the jaws of life. 
I know what you mean.

@Toast@Toast  - this offer still on the table? Due to some major 'miscommunication' the parts I got on trade me are for the e28.. Not the e38 at all.
