Exhaust manifolds

[M///BMW]

I know the Raceland manifold works but I have also heard that the SuperSprint replica exhaust manifold from Ebay works as well. Can anybody explain which is better and possibly link me to some that would work. Thanks.

They all suck imo lol. For the $ and marginal gains plus pain in the ass fabrication... I would just go with OBD2 manifolds.

Ive got a set of obd2 manifolds for sale. With that being said i used the ss replicas.had to drill all the holes for studs. Other than that the only issue is they are very tight on firewall. Not enough to make me not wanna use em haha. Apparently with the racelands you run into more lca, subframe clearance issues. The ss didnt have an issue at all with those areas.

I can't find the SS replicas on ebay anymore. Did they stop making them?

Hooray for blanket statements with little to no merit.

My Supersprint reps required hardly any fab, we cut a little length off, added a 2-into-1 Magnaflow Y pipe, a V-Band clamp flange (but that's optional) and an 02 sensor bung. I didn't have to drill the stud holes, tho. They were a great fit. Then I had them inside/outside ceramic coated, and they are killer headers on a budget. I can flog the car for 30 minutes, and put my hand directly on them in less than 10.











All in all, cost me about $300 total.

Theyre are lots of them on ebay but none will say they are ss replicas. Ok so look at this listing. Specifically look at the header pics. All ss replicas look exactly the same exactly like this. On the one pipe it will have a bowing segment criss crossing the other pipe. Anyway...

That looks great. I do not want to use OBD2 exhaust manifolds. I have 3 sets of them and want something with more flow. If I can find a set of SS reps I would buy them but I can't find them anymore.

Okay. I remember not long ago they were listed as SS reps but now they are not. I had a set on my E36 M3 and remember buying them. If they are all the same then I will definitely look into getting those.

I actually got mine used from a guy on here who had bought and painted them, but never mounted them. I also separately bought my own nut/stud kit from Turner Motorsport. If you end up getting a set that comes with its own, just toss 'em.

I just searched the ebay listings for the cheapest shipped ones. Those happened to 104 bucks shipped and they are on my car now. Very happy with them for the price.

Hooray for you.

You can haphazard SS reps into an E30 with slightly varying degrees of difficulty.

Or you can do it right an invest the money and get a y-pipe fabbed up to make install very easy.

Exhibit A. Beautiful y pipe with V-bands to connect it to the SS rep headers and the rest of the exhaust. Of course, work this nice will cost you, but to me it is easily worth it.
