Yes I installed them myself. It was a breeze because it was my 3rd time I installed headers. Reason why I love bimmerbrakes headers is because they have %100 fitment for the flanges and O2 plugs, so there are no surprises when you do the install.

Just follow a DIY and you'll be good. One tip I may give you is to remove your electric fan when doing the install, if you dont it will hit the AC compressor when you are lifting up the engine on the pass side.

Good luck.

Thanks

A lot of the E46 M3 guys use Ar20 or AR25 resonators to eliminate rasp, if some of you don't like how your car sounds with headers you could look into welding those into the exhaust.

Sorry for the slight thread jack; is anyone running headers with high flow cats? What type of power gain do you see with this type of setup?

Yes, Bimmerbrakes headers have same flanges for 325/330 ONLY to connect to OEM exhaust and they are same length, so there wont be any gap (unlike some other headers that will have upto 4" gap because they are too short).

Thats why I recommend bimmerbrakes headers , hassle free install.
