    Inexpensive header alternative?

    So I got to thinking, can the M3 header fit our head? Does it mate to our exhaust? Is it different/better?

    It would be nice to get some sort of upgrade in this department without (a) breaking the bank and (b) messing around with the SES light...

    I did some looking here and on e46f and really only found one thread that never provided any results...

    Anyone??

    M3 has individual flanges. Need to cut and weld two three-port flanges to each set. The alternative is eBay or Bimmerbrakes.

    bimmerbrakes will be releasing their gen 3 headers next month. Eurocharged is working with them to partner up exclusively so hang tight and we'll get you taken care of.

    Thanks for the quick reply guys.. Horney's reply basically summed it up. Cut and weld = Not a direct fit... So that answers that question!

    I will wait for BimmerBrakes to release...

    no, catless is planned 1st. Might be a catted option to later follow next year. Part of the reason we are teaming up with them is to be able to code out all the CEL's and such to run a catless set up properly.

    I know, but that is also the only way I'll be purchasing a set as my car has to pass emissions tests for inspection.

    Yeah, Headers would be cool with me but I wouldn't be able to DD a car without cats. I have a friend with a ZHP the same color as mine (but modded differently) and he has headers with a magnaflow full exhaust after that. Sounds epic, but IMO the sound doesn't portray how fast (or lack there-of) the car actually is. That, and I can't stand driving with him because of the smell. I love the smell on old muscle cars though. Our cars just don't suit that bill.
