    Problem with long tube TopSpeed headers fitment. #Cinnabar325is?

    Hello everyone,

    I saw this thread:


    I Like it, and I also bought this headers.

    Yesterday they arrived, but they won't fit!

    The headers are touching each other, touching the chassis, touching the gearbox....

    I'm after a day of trying and not succeeding.

    Would appreciate any idea and help :(

    325i 87'

    All the mounts are lemforeder new.
    The car after a long project..

    Thanks,

    Eden

Multiple areas where serious modification would have been necessary to install them...so i returned them and topspeedauto immediately approved the return, no questions asked. Looks like the OBX had a slightly better fit...oh well. I went with IE race headers and couldn't be happier. They fit, sound great and make power.
      Looks like you are having the same problems!
      I feel for you but, it is important to read all the posts to get a good idea of what you are getting into before purchasing some aftermarket parts.
      I hope this works out for you!!
