I have an EIP header and I'm wondering if it's worth my time intalling it. I read somewhere a while back that the stock manifold flows just fine. What are your opinions? __________________  |  |  | | 03-25-2009, 03:19 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: South Central, MN Posts: 1,065 |

Never heard of an EIP header, do you have any more info on it?
If I recall, the supersprint header was pretty pricey but one of the few that actually saw some gains. Otherwise, the stock header was pretty good from the factory. __________________ ~Dave~

Stands for "Euro Import Performance". I'm not sure of the gains, since no one that I know has installed it. Check eiptuning.com. I say go for it. It wouldn't hurt. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

Oh, it's that EIP. Yeah, I didn't know they ever made a header for our cars, I assumed they just destroyed VWs.  http://eipsucks.com/  They mostly destroy Subarus now apparently. I have read about some Z3 guys putting aftermarket headers on an M44 and feeling a loss of low end power. Search around, you'll find more info. I still can't find any info about EIP ever making a header for our cars, are you sure it's EIP? __________________ ~Dave~

Buddy said it was EIP...but like you, I wasn't able to find anything by them made for the m44/m42. Not even a discontinuation. None the less the header is designed to fit the m44. It was pretty much free....guess it wouldn't hurt to try. I should do a baseline,install it,and check the numbers. __________________ | | | | |
