Which ebay headers work the best w/ s52 swap?

[rneedham1979]

My SS reps are money. They fit fine with no modifications. Has anyone attempted installing RMS headers on an S5x/E30?

I have the ebay SS reps. They were fine for a year, then I got vibrations from hitting the subframe. I spaced the passenger side up a bit, now my intake manifold is hitting the brake booster. I'll need to drop the passenger side back down, and notch the subframe for the headers, or bend the headers.

Jvt stuff is decent.

I had the ebay ss reps. They worked fine. I am going to try OBD 2 Manifolds this time and see how they work out.

The first set I had was 3 years ago. then maybe 1.5 years ago. I dont like them. Thats just me I guess.

Because they either hit the sway bar or hit the firewall. only way to make them not hit either spot is to space the motor on either side.
the bolt holes are so big the headers are off on the ports. Just poor quality all around.

I havent had any of these problems and mine were dirt cheap. Maybe the new ones have alot of problems but mine sure dont.

I dont have any spacers and no clearence problems at all. Mine have worked out really well.

I have a 1/4'' spacer on the passenger side motor mount and they still rub/vibrate the subframe/body time to time, very annoying- I think my set was a little defective because they had a bend that made them rub on the trans tunnel right out of the box. I think it would have been overall easier to just run the obd2 headers/down pipe welded up to the rest of my exhaust. Then again I plan on turbo next year so they will be going soon enough.

I have the ebay " SS" reps, and if I were to do it again I would def. go with the obd2 headers

Same here, stay away from the eBay headers!

Why? I havent had any problems at all.

Id just run the stock S52 headers and weld the 02 and EGR ports.

Which ebay headers work the best w/ s52 swap? There are a bunch of different sellers and brands, and i just want to know which fit the best and any issues.

Thanks kevin
