Swap in Progress

[e30polak]

I'm on the fence about the headers. eBay SS reps for horsepower and lower cost, or shorty's from bimmerworld for torque, jet hot coating and higher cost. I can always wrap the eBay headers, but the collector hangs down pretty low. But then the shorty's will require a serious bend where the Y pipe joins the front primary... I would rather have the torque, but not at the expense of uneven flow between primaries. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

I guess you don't want to listen to me. Ebay headers make plenty of torque, and you can always have the collectors modified by a decent exhaust shop. TMS headers are not worth it, you can get euro headers for cheaper!

Ordered a rebuilt driveshaft today. Serviceable u-joints, balanced, with new CSB.

Next up is the GripsForce/Sachs flywheel and clutch to replace the dual mass unit. The chrome moly flywheel is something like 10lbs lighter than stock unit and the clutch is OE spec.
