525i headers for e30m50 ?

[raimo]

Will 525 headers fit for a e30 with m50 engine ? or will i just have to try out

If you are referring to aftermarket then most likely NOT .

I'm basing this on the fact that headers designed for the E34 M20 will NOT work in an M20 powered E30 .

And there is much less clearance with the twin-cam installed in an E30 .

If you are talking about stock, then one will fit (identical to the E36 one) and the other will not. I think that the rear one is used by both the E36 and E34 (and fits) and the front E34 one won't fit (the E36 one does).

im talking about full tubular exhaust headers, not the stock ones from factory. i dont know who made the particular one.

actually, i'm using an 325ix bodyshell for my swap. i know that a S54 engine with factory headers fits fine and that made me think, that maybe there is enough room for it. i will use the same engine mounts as the e30s54
