Schmeidmann 200cell Headers

[derbo]

Anyone heard anything about these?

I know they are overseas but it seems like something that would be pretty decent alternative to a custom 200cell cat setup like supersprint..

I'm fairly interested in these. Although this means the hks exhaust i have would have to be hacked in the middle to work with it..

I read some decent things about them on e46, plus some not answered inquiries. I was somewhat interested in that as well, but know real direct knowledge.

I keep seeing their ads in Roundel and am amazed that a Danish company would advertise month after month. Either Roundel has significant European readership, or Schmiedmann is good at exporting stuff to the US.

This seemed like the perfect solution in California--headers for performance and cats for compliance. I read an article somewhere saying you could re-route the existing post-cat O2 sensors over the transmission, plug them in after the cats, and it would not throw a code. But more recently I read that if you use these with the 6-speed transmission, you have to relocate one of the cats further back to clear the transmission.

Derek -- Please do not hack up that beautiful HKS exhaust, no longer available in the US, I want it if you go to Schmiedmann. Actually, I would think you'd want to keep the HKS and your stock exhaust manifolds intact in case these Schmiedmann headers don't work correctly for CA emissions. But if it does, then you can sell the HKS to me, shipping should be less than $100. Bruce

I don't need to follow visual inspection rules. I just need a system that can past the sniffer dyno test.

I'll keep you in mind Bruce.

Their shipping rates to a business address are superb. You should get them and run a magnaflow resi and rear box.

From a GS3, this was sent.

That sounds like a good idea.. better yet, UUC TSE3 with custom piping.

The header-to-catback outside diamerter is 2.05 inches. Just some extra info.

That would probably be VERY loud.

Let us know if you do it! They have caught my eye as well. A few years ago there was a scuffle about having them imported. As of late I think a few individuals have been successful.

I purchased them and the fitment was ASS

ended up sending back - losing shipping both ways
