SHOULD YOU BUY EBAY HEADERS FOR YOUR E46 BUILD?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Should you buy EBay headers for your E46 build? I have been asked this question a lot. So, in this video I take a close look at headers for your BMW E46. What do headers do? How do headers work? and Should you buy your headers on Ebay?
I am sticking with the standard BMW E46 exhaust manifold for my E46 build, but at some point I will instal a set of headers to complete my build. But how much thought should go into choosing the right headers for your E46 build?
In this video I give a heap of answers and a list of questions you need to be asking yourself about headers for your BMW E46.

    I agree. I have a set of active autowerke headers and the weld work is really good. Quality is essential, and the eBay headers probably need some modification to get fitted properly.

    Hi, thank you for the informative video. I have a 2002 e46 330i, 205k kms. I use my car for joyrides, like to feel the power and the torque but never take it out on a track. Do you think a car this old would have all clogged cats and installing supersprint headers would make a big difference? I am all for originality and would only want to go for it if it would really be worth it. Thanks in advance for your help.

    I buy all my parts online, alot cheaper than your local autoparts store, I shop from top aftermarket dealers and Amazon, had several bad experiences with eBay, things being broke, bent, used, not even receiving my packages, they let anyone sell on ebay and the risk is so much higher not to mention you will play hard to get your money back, Amazon I rarely have this problem and top quality parts, I lost 1 of my packages and Amazon quickly gave me my money back, just had to wait 3 to 5 business days for the money to get back transferred on my card but yeah, Amazon also has better deals, 😉 us e46 owners gotta look out for each other, especially how the younger generation is causing problems with the brand, I heard bmw might be in trouble due to a comment on thier new electric car, bmw decided to call out the younger generation from one of their comments and it just lit up and fueled everything, I even go to car shows and just the ill say type of driving I seen from these young people in e46's just..... ima say it makes me concerned for my car and my life when going to a car show anymore, just as bad as the typical mustang owner

    I have blackhorse racing headers on my 330i. I bought mine off eBay about 2 years ago, and I believe they also had them on Amazon. I think I paid 100 bucks for them. Didn’t have any sort of issues with the flanges lining up. In terms of the rear 02’s, as you mentioned, they will not fit, but coding them out is very simple.

    Yup they are basically just replicated supersprint headers without paying for the name but you might have to deal with some fitment issues for the rear bungs and just use oem gaskets They function the same as any other header

    If anything people who put headers on their cars especially catless are looking for more sound than power, because the sound difference will be much more noticeable than the power difference.

    Wrong the biggest power gains for M54 is headers these engines don’t respond to mods very well because they are well tuned stock but the headers are restrictive
