Building a M50 track day car and would like to use these headers without notching or hammering the front subframe.
I'm using AKG poly motor mounts...Shimming the motor up will give me some more space but not enough from what I can gather.
The motor is on a stand so heating the headers until they are cherry red and then bending them using a pipe for leverage will be easy. The question is how much do these things need to be bent? I'm ok with sacrificing some flow I just don't want to alter the front structural member.
I'm contemplating using the bimmerworld sways to help with clearance if I go this route.
So anyone who owns these, is there any reason I can't heat these up with a torch and bend them enough to get clearance around the subframe?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Kev
