    this is the headers on the car 3 size stepped equal lenght tubes into merged 3.5 oval, part of the reason for the flat torque n power past 8000rpm, the free up intake should really wake this thing up

      wow those look amazing - are they E30 specific? custom built?

      I had a set of the ebay headers, only $65. man, I got what I paid for. I sold them to somebody else who was going to cut them up and make a jig to build a "real" set.

          Are these something you are going to be selling? I have the Ebay's on mine and really want to get rid of them.

            Great question, I think there would be a ton of interest in them if he's willing to make them.

                    the answer is yes, about 5yrs ago b4 s54 became a popular swap Don (kromerkraft) n i designed the headers, alot of thought went into it as far as tube length, different primary sizes, dia of merge collectors etc, based on my dyno results the headers produce a very flat tq band(266 tq max) n was still making power (322whp max) past 8000rpm with the motor running very rich (stock intake, stock engine, street tune, custom headers) i'm going to do some more dyno runs with different intakes n tunes, i won't b selling a pretty headers, i'll b selling a headers with proven results compared to what else is out there, even the a/c compressor fits with no problem, i'm in talks with a well known header company about building these, stainless steel only, more to come

                      That's what I figured. Do you make and sell brackets for this to mount?
