Headers

[rescobot]

Looking into getting some headers for my 325e. Any suggestions on which ones I should get?

Look on ebay. Get full flange ones. The ones with individual flanges have filament issues. They are all made in China. Plus they say they are long tube headers but they are actually mid tube design. There are true long tubes on there, but then you run into ground clearance issues.

its a waste on the eta engine. get a chip and call it a day.

Real talk. Chip will be the best bang for your buck

have you guys even ran an eta with the stock exhaust then put headers on it and ran it? Now i'm not claiming its going to be a jaw dropping change, but you can tell some difference. If you have the money and want to spend it, then its your call. But if you're on a budget, may just want to chip it for now. Although i dont think the headers cost an arm and leg anymore, i havnt really checked lately.

So what if I got headers and a chip? Which chip would you recommend?

On my 325eS I swapped the complete exhaust with i stuff and it really seemed to help a little.

Best gains on the Eta are a chip and a 3.25 LSD though.
