I have a set of long tube headers I'm about to install with midpipes to go with. I was wondering whether or not to go with the midpipes or not... looks like it's a go :)Comment

LOL@ the "go wide" sticker in the engine bay of that vert.
So what are the gains of these VS let's say MSDS headers? RD ones are sex though, just wondering if there is REAL gains for the price of three sets?
I am going turbo do these don't mean anything to my build. Just wondering is all.
MSDS is 2.5 connection pipes to a 3" collector.
The collectors are 2.5" and your stock pipes are 1.75, so a pretty large difference. The connection pipes will be 2" so you can have a shop expand your stock pipe .25" and weld directly or use 2" flanges to your pipes. Having the connection pipes will make this a lot cleaner installation.Last edited by F34R; 10-17-2012, 09:37 PM.~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~

I'll correct previous post by adding this data...
- K27 Motors, they are 2.7 liter versions of the 325i M20 motors
- Max horsepower is 214HP and
- Max torque is 270Nm at 4.500 RPM.
It should give you an idea of what they can help you achive.
once some one said... perceived value variables from one person to another are beyonde reasanoble parameters of logical calculous rules...Last edited by fporro; 10-18-2012, 11:31 AM.Comment

The MSDS headers are bigger and a shorter shot out vs the smaller RD headers. I can see the gain to long tubes, but these are not long tubes.
So again, what is the point of the extra cash for a smaller header?
From your ending quote, I gather it is just to have it etc. Nothing wrong with that.Last edited by F34R; 10-18-2012, 11:57 PM.~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~

Hmmm turbo? Are u doing a remote mount turbo or something?"I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

^^ I'll try to answer your dual headed question with one shot.
- Headers were designed as such not just for looks, race teams don't do that.
- As such and due to their complexity they cost more to produce.
For a superior header shootout you'll need...
- stock engine
- 2.7 stroker
- 3.1 stroker
- short, mid and long headers
take above, run each set of headers on each engine, at least 3 runs each., print out data. shared it with us on a new thread.Comment
