what do you think.

for 200$ vs SuperSprint's 800+ I would consider it, if the quality is there.

Why does it say "For Race Only"?

Becuase it probably wont pass state regulations for smog.

[1rstbmw!]

Thats kind of fishy 800 to 200.Those wont lose power on low end would they?

I think those look pretty nice..not that I really know that much about headers though.

[AlaskaBlue]

Any other imput on these?...because I am seriously thining about buying them.

The stock BMW header is very well designed. I am not an expert on this issue, but I'm going to assume that BMW did their homework on our factory headers. There are few way to gain hp via an economical 4 cylinder, free flowing exhaust is one. I doubt the hp=$ ratio is worth it.

[cali-ti]

eliminates the cat, right? that would explain the "for race only" bit. considering the O2 sensors are in the cat section (pre and post) and there's a spot for one O2 sensor on this header ... you'd still have the problem of the second one (for 96+ tis).

BMWs are 4-2-1 right? 4-1 are designed for a higher horsepower peak in the high revs. It may or may not be worth it at 200 dollars though. Looks to be basically a copy of supersprint.

[Viper3812]

It's really tempting to buy at $200 and it does look like the supersprint.

The tubing looks nice, but that plate; kind of . . . weak?

Those welds should penetrate a little deeper.

stock is a 4-2-1 and is a 2 piece IIRC.

This would be better atleast for flow.

If it's too free flowing you will lose low-end torque and hp.

You might be better off putting the $200 into ceramic coating and even wraping the stock setup and keeping the power curve where its at...especially if its DASCd. Just a thought. Now on a trailer queen, you could do both!
