E36 header question

[lukasbmw]

Here is a link to an auction on ebay for E36 6 cyl headers:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2471472716&category=33631

As you can see, the headers look exactly like the stock exhaust manifolds on the 96-99 E36 M3. The only difference is these are chrome and do not have the special emissions holes.

The auctions claims they are ported.

My question is this:

I have in my posession a pair of stock manifolds from a 98 M3 waiting to be installed on my E30M50. Do you think it would be worth it to get these easily affordable headers, or should I just stick the stock manifolds as they are probably exactly the same as the headers on ebay.

just use what you've got

I agree with Jordon. You just need that part number that I still need to send you! :oops:

Edit: Oh, and the ones on eBay have the same O2 ports that yours have...there're just prettier that yours.

Stay away from those! They only look nice for about a month.On another board about 2 months ago they were talking about how the finish chipped off right away.Aside from the fact that the "Dyno plot" is a fake.Just look at the torque curve vs the hp curve.This was proved over and over with real dyno plots.
