ieasti 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 Hey guys, I have a e46 330ci, and was planning to import some headers from overseas, but much to my disappointment i found out that they would not fit because we are RHD, and most aftermarket headers seem to be for LHD! so having said that I was wondering where is a good place to get some custom made headers for my e46 330ci, I am in the Auckland Area. Regarding to them being custom made, what do I need to be aware of? do I ask them to copy a certain existing design? or is it just a random act of welding stainless steel pipes together in hope of increasing airflow and better output? Any ideas or thoughts? Thanks guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ieasti 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 I have got 3 sets of headers coming out of Europe that are designed for E36 & E46 328 & 330 M52 & M54 engines. These are Right hand drive in 1.7 mil Stainless not lightweight asian crap stainless. They bolt straight up to the standard mid section Just waiting on freight costs and details, looks like they will land here for around $1900 . Happy to pass them on for an additional 10% to club members but will need a deposit wow... thats some $$$... any ideas on how much gain you going to get from those? I would've thought you can get custom ones made for cheaper than that price.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It depends if you want actual tuned equal length headers - or just bits of metal tube in a random configuration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

conrod 1 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 I think E36 M3 headers will fit, the bolt pattern on the head is the same on the M54 as the S50. But good luck finding a second hand set for reasonable $$$$, they are $8K new! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ieasti 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2006 hey guys, I got in touch with Terri from Al's Muffler, and he seems to have a good idea of what he is doing. Quoting what he said "We suggest a tri Y set as space is limited and tuning of them is almost eqaul lenght due to the space factor and the firing order that is specified for the motor. The price is between $900 and $1100 depending on where you want your power band and torque increase." Seems a pretty good deal to me, seeing how it's all "customized". Any one have any experience in dealing with them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
