Header ideas?

You could do that, but your car wouldn't legally pass emissions. If you install cats, they have to be in the same location as the factory ones. If the car comes with cats in the headers (Like the ZHP) you have to get cats in the headers for it to be legal.

So you might as well go with magnaflow. Which is exactly what I was thinking of. Thanks Justin.

Well you can get by if you have a computer test. Put some extensions in your post o2 cats and you'll read about 25% lower than what it actually is.

Well here's the thing. I want the car louder and raspier, but from what you guys are saying its obviously a big difference. I don't want alot of drone. I do want the car to sound more open though.... What to do, what to do..

Here, I'll give you my stock zhp exhaust for your UUC. FOR FREE!

Deal?

Thanks for all of your input! I really don't know what to do. That honestly sounds pretty sick. You also have to take into effect that that video was recorded in a dyno garage. I want to hear it outside and with my own ears. Videos of the way a car sounds can never really do them any true justice IMHO.

Sounds like maybe you'd like a borla or eisenmann with headers. More "f1" like sounding than deep throaty rumbling

I was SOOO happy to go back to the stock manifolds on the sedan. I was tired of dealing with O2 issues, or the O2s rubbing/knocking against the bottom of the car, the drone (the only time I didnt have drone - was the Supersprint headers, into SS cats, into SS x-pipe, into SS resonator and finally into SS rear section)

The wagon currently has SS headers into Euro M3 exhaust/cats and then finally into AA Gen6 M3 rear section - it is as raspy as any modded M3....I want to go back to oem cats - but the TS3 would choke on its exhaust

I am beat down enough on exhaust I am weary of getting the down-pipes for the X5M

Wait...you're replacing the ZHP with an X5M?! DUUUUUUUDE...that's amazing.

That's awesome. See I would love the car to be nice and raspy like a modded ///M!! I'm at 168k now. I'm just going to have to settle until the motor gets too iffy. By then I'll hopefully have my e60 ///M and have the ZHP as the project car, then it'll be time for the s54 swap I've always wanted for this future 4 door M3 haha..
