Downpipe/ custom headers for swap.....

[OOMPH!]

My car is sitting up on the lift with the S50 in it and there is about an inch of space between the header and the subframe. Have you guys have custom downpipes made? and even if you do the bend is so radical i dont know if it would work well. Also, do any companies make custom headers for this instance? Will HIOP headers work? I have to get this thing on the road already and I need help.

Thanks in advance

Stock CAB's on it or Treehouse CAB's?

I made my own downpipes and modded the header. I cut the front collector and turned it so I gained over an inch of room. The downpipes are pretty tough though cause there are a couple of weird bends you need to make, but a shop could probably do it for you in a day.

I used the stainless 3.2 exhaust manifolds modified for OBDI and a stock e36 m3 center section. Absolutely no modifying whatsoever as long as you're using the treehouse cabs and bend the heatshield for clearance. Eventually, I'll want AA's track pipe, but I'll most likely keep the 3.2 exhaust manifolds. Either way, I love not having to modify anything. My entire exhaust system is e36 m3 with the e36 m3 stromung rear cat-back and the only bit of modifying was brackets onto the muffler for proper hanger fitting.
