OBDII headers

[Joe G]

yes i searched.

So my car has OBDII headers, but the flange on the header closest to the front is aimed directly at the subframe/control arm. How are you guys modifying/setting up your piping with these headers? pics would be a great help.

thanks,
Joe

I've heard tweaking the header away from the subframe works (aprox. 1/2"). Otherwise, custom welds, shimming the motor up, ect.

it will clear.

when changing out the midpipe, you have to lift the motor up a little and then install the exhaust. bolt everything up, then lower the motor and tighten the motor mount and call it a day.

i have:
-obdII exhaust mani
-e36 obdI midpipe
-98 m3 muffler.
