“Bavauto” Headers Group Buy Round 2: Now with more headers [OFFICIALLY CLOSED]

[JCarp90]

Damn it, man. Of course these come out a month after I grenaded my M20 and bought an S52. :(

Bump it!

Get your car sounding sweet for 2013. In case anyone is wondering, here's a couple shots of my 325 rocking these headers with a 2.5" single exhaust, vibrant cat, resonator, and muffler...

Okay, looks like I'm straight then. Thanks!

Maybe I miss understood the flange for the e30 325i/e midpipe, but the pic below is a stock 325i m20 catback exhaust. Based off the picture there are two flanges on the exhaust, would they be coming with one and that's why we need another added to bolt up to a stock exhaust?

From the last time around

are these CA smog-legal?

AFAIK all of these Bavauto systems are designed to join up with the cat-back, therefore bypassing the cat. This isn't much of an issue for the systems which the mid-section isn't integral because you can have an exhaust shop make you a custom mid-section with a cat. For the systems with an integral mid-section you'll have to cut out a section and get a cat put in.

well, obviously there's no cats here, you have to add your own, but in CA you also need CARB numbers for all aftermarket exhaust components. Also, from what I hear magnaflow universal cats eat themselves in 2-5 years.

Ahhh okay, I wasn't aware of the rating or the cats eating themselves.

I guess I'll have to look into other cats.

Considering there are no cats in the mid-pipe, no. However, you could always get some added. I found some a magnaflow cat for ~$70 each. It is a 2" in/out too so no loss of pipe size.,.

Edit: I have my own customs broker and can help people get their headers into Canada at a much more reasonable rate than the "major carriers" can. If there's much interest from Ontario, we can work something out.

no m42 love?

Unfortunately not. Sorry.

How much extra is getting the flanges weld onto the midpipe for the e30 325i setup?

~$10-$15

Sounds great I'm very interested. What will the deposit be? Any idea on turnaround after the cut-off has been reached? Just want to plan accordingly to make full payment. Thanks.

Deposit will be $250. The turn around will depend on when Tubular will get the raw materials, how busy their schedule is, and whether or not you want your headers coated. That being said, 4-6 weeks is probably a good estimate.
