Wondering if the cracking could be eliminated by using a small flex pipe between the header and exhaust?

A flex pipe for what?
![]() Just get OE gaskets (throw away the garbage ones that come with the headers). All of those look like they should fit your 330, going by the titles. |

Cracking of what?
And also make sure the exhaust lines up when you put the headers on. The car will be almost 100% undriveable if it doesn't line up. |

I've heard and read they eventually crack near the collectors

Then buy BimmerBrake headers.
I highly doubt they will crack either way though. |

I never heard of that before mine did fine along with others.
Just don't over think it and put them on with oem gaskets and you should be good to go. Then just get a custom exhaust made. |

How did y'all wire in the O2 sim? I have the bimmerbrakes sim and was wondering how to wire it in. Do you cut and splice the post cat O2 wires or can you use a T tap splice and just tap into the wires? And what wire do most of you guys use for the 12V power? Do you T tap that? Thanks

bimmerbrakes doesnt have sh%t on their website. What happened to their headers?
Which seller provides good fitment headers on ebay these days? I see too many of them selling for $100.

Just pm him or email him. He can get you a set or go on ebay. It truly is not hard too fix the wrong flanges either mod ur exhaust flange or mod your header flange.

I'm wondering if anybody has bought a set from ebay, and had them fit perfect..bolted up to the stock exhaust without any problems, fitted 2 o2 sensors without problems...which o2 bungs are people using? closest to head? or further from head? I am thinking of installing mine in the next few days but dont really wanna hack the stock exhaust...

It's because know one has. There is no way you are getting all four two fit. You only need to anyway once you put your headers on. If you buy the ebay ones the o2 bungs no matter what will be a pain in the a$$ too get to fit.
Unless before you put them on you have a exhaust shop move the 02 bungs for you. Every ebay header is from the same spot either china or Japan. Doesn't really matter who you buy from you are going too get the same quality. Also the whole what o2 sensors too use has been beaten too death it's on one of these pages. But just disconnect the ones that are on top of your engine. Last edited by bwallace530; 08-07-2012 at 01:57 PM. |
