Racing Dynamics E30

Have anyone ordered from Racing Dynamics website? I see the M20 header for $525 but I wasn't sure if this is legit or not.

I ordered some umbrellas, stickers, and a strut bar from them. Initial shipping is based on dollar value, but they refund the extra once they know the actual cost from FedEx.

Although those are RD headers, they aren't the OG ones from back in the day:

Thanks for the info. Do you know what the differences might be? I know IE makes a copy version of RD headers which some of the members raised concern on the quality.

Seems like they're using the new Alibaba business model and slapping their name on Chinese/Taiwanese made parts.

Research the history of racing dynamics. I don't buy the new stuff because of my feelings about it.

The strut bar is still as cool as always. Those headers look just like the cheapo ebay headers that never fit.

OP, I would wait for a set of the original exhausts (or the 1st/2nd re-run) to pop up here or on ebay. The original price was $1300 and that's about what NOS sells for. Otherwise, Schmiedmann makes some that look almost identical to that exhaust, for half the price. Likely still low quality out of china or something.

Hey OP! Here's an original set of RD headers, definitely not one of the 2 re-runs. Price is steep and I'm not affiliated:
