e and i blocks

[threlevenguy]

is there a difference between an 86 325es block and a 1990 325is block? lookin for a fitment for headers

[PeaveyBassist]

No. You know headers bolt to the head right? not the block.

Will

Yes, and what headers are you looking to get?

[threlevenguy]

e30 reaktionar im just about over the edge for those headers you gave me a link to...http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...hlight=headers just makin sure everything will work before i pay him

[JasonC]

They look like good headers with full flanges. I'd rather have them over my IE long tubes.

[threlevenguy]

so u think i should buy?

[JasonC]

It's up to you? You'll have to get an O2 bung welded in and get a new exhaust or just go to an exhaust shop and get them to mate the headers up to your current exhaust.

[threlevenguy]

do u think i should buy an IE exhaust or get a shop to mandrel bend a 2.5" to a muffler of some sort?

[JasonC]

I don't know nothing about the e30 cat back's so i can't help you out with the IE exhaust. And most muffler shops don't have mandrel pipe benders. It would propolbly be cheaper to go to a muffler shop and get them to make up a exhaust system. I got 2 1/4 duels on mine with glass packs and no cats. I can't remember what the cost was for that setup they did.

[threlevenguy]

is it legal...and does it sound clean and not rice-ey?

[JasonC]

The no cats is illegal. And it is very loud and i can't describe the sound. There is a sound clip somewhere on here with a setup like mine, i'll see if i can't find it.

[JasonC]

Found it http://media.putfile.com/325is sounds pretty much like mine. And this is on Mr. 0 983764 3834754 1's car
