        Do you know anything about HIOP? I'd love to know.
        Much more popular 5 yrs ago or so......

        a lot of e36 track guys played w/them along w/ TMS shorties , long tube types , SS , euros etc etc etc.

        Many said they lost torque and hp w/ them...lol.....but I've never seen many dynos pre and post headers. Headers by themselves as you know, are not the smartest choice to install.....

        the name HIOP has been kind of quiet for a while now.


        they sure look good under the hood.

        go to bf.c in the track section, and do a search.

        good info here...

            Whats with that piece of metal that seems to join the strut housing to the fender? Never seen that before!

                    And yes I know the powder coating on the valve cover is busted. That was by a local guy to me and he sucked. But I can't complain for 25 bucks

                        I've always loved your car! Please do it justice and move the battery to the back.

                            Just got my motor back in on Sunday, and painted the M3 firewall covers with the same bedliner finish that I used on the rest of the bay, now they practically blend in.
