    euro e46 on e30

    Himizoli PM'd me this picture which I think is the greatest thing EVER. Hydro-formed euro e46 headers with e36 mounting flanges.

    Genius!

    I love the way the collector merge is done on these.

                  You can do it without welding. I used a mapp gas torch to heat it red hot and pounded at it with a ball peen hammer for clearance. Reheat and repound until it fits.

                      Is that the guy who lives in Bahrain? I e-mailed him, too. Really flaky. He has one for $450 which I declined, all of a sudden a few days later he "found" another one that I can have for $390, delivered.

                        Yup, I have another set but RHD from uk the guy is waiting me to paypal him on. Said he could get here in about 5 days ship time. I feel a little safer with that. And its cheaper than what the bahrain guy is asking now. He told me he couldn't go lower than 430.

                          Oh. Well he's a fairly active member on BFC, so I figured it was cool. The price is decent, but what you mentioned sounds shady.

                            ended up buying euro uk ones for 250 GBP or roughly 420 bones shipped in 5 business days. not bad.

The only other issue is you may have some swaybar clearance issues depending on your exact setup (motor mount spacers, swaybar size...). I'm going to be making a spacer to lower my swaybar a little bit to clear the header.

                              More photos of your headers would be appreciated, especially showing the area where they pass over the subframe. Also the firewall. Two of us have them in the mail now. Me, Mikee30.
