24V swap with Euro headers?

[kalib0y]

here are mine with the racelands


and I did shim up the motor a bit for added clearance and it did not affect my driveshaft functionality at all. My only problem was the sway bar and I spaced that out a little bit. No i have no issues at all.

I love the long tubes mid/high end power

I also might add that the racelands a prime piece and are very well made

Here's what mine looked like when I got them. I cut and moved #6 runner about 1" to clear the firewall (firewall can also be massaged) and pushed the collectors up 1".

Fits like a glove now.

This is what i was looking for thanks, still debating between these and racelands though.

Has anyone seen a dyno comparision between the Racelands and the Euro headers? I really want a set of Euro headers someday. Racelands are okay but the Euros are made of way thicker material and AFAIK flow the best of any of the headers available.

I got a set of generic ebay headers before I got the euro headers; the tubing was so thin it went *tink* when I tapped it. The euro headers go *thunk*. Much thicker and true equal length.

My car sounds great, no rasp.

Don't all the header pipes share the same basic curve to allow use in RHD cars?

Yep thats correct. On an E36 M3, the steering shaft goes through where that curves are in the headers with only about an inch or so clearance.

Almost impossible for us RHD guys to get headers for these engines whether it be in E30 or E36 :(

Fair trade off since you guys have access to the S50B30 :nice:

Racelands are much thicker than the other ebay headers. I hardly have any rasp at all. I believe they are replicas of the supersprint headers

[Adrian_Visser]

They are replicas of the Euro Supersprint headers and yes they are much thicker than other Ebay headers. I don't have much rasp either but I still tend to think that the OE BMW headers are made of superior materials. I'm gunna check bimmerforums for dyno charts.

[kalib0y]

agreed. OEM is built to last a very long time.

This. The Racelands are considerably higher quality than the generic eBay SS knock offs. They sounds much better, provide more performance and are a true bargain compared to Euro headers.

That being said I had my eBay SS replica headers for over 3 years of hard driving with no issues.

not what you were asking but...

we have these coming in for the Betty build, ordered some extra, wont be for sale until we fit and give feedback.

I have these too.
