    e30 LS swap

    Anybody clue me in to proper off-the-shelf headers to fit on the driver side. I was told Sanderson would work, but it is right on my motor mount and almost impossible to hook to manifold pipe. I made it work but am tired of replacing motor mounts.

          Sanderson headers

          I made it work by cutting off the collector near the converging point and angling a 3" piece toward the fender well and to the outside of the steering link. Rewelded the flange and now no worries. Could have been a little longer for ease of assembly, but not near as bad as before.

            I also tried Patriot H8073 which are beautiful, but the collector needed to be moved about an inch out toward the fender side and would have been great. I couldn't see paying 270 dollars and still have to modify. Tried to get them to build it for E30 sales, but they claimed wasn't enough market.
