BMW Performance Headers & Downpipes

Headers are a bolt-on component that will make a huge improvement in how your BMW performs. As a replacement for your factory BMW exhaust manifold, our BMW headers provide a more direct path for exhaust gasses leaving your engine. Headers prevent your BMW's exhaust pulses from 'fighting' one another as they leave the head. The end result is that BMW headers give you more power and torque, and you'll love the high-winding top end push that a free-breathing engine exhibits. BMW headers are a must-have if you're doing any engine modifications on your vehicle. Along with a cold air intake, BMW headers provide the free-flowing exhaust necessary to get the most power out of your motor.

The factory cast-iron exhaust manifolds originally fitted to M50, M50TU, and S50B30US-powered E36s are notorious performance bottlenecks, plagued by excessive weight and a tendency to crack over time. Our Equal Length "Shorty" Exhaust Headers offer the ultimate remedy. Engineered specifically to maximize exhaust flow and encourage exhaust gas scavenging, these headers unleash a noticeable boost in overall engine efficiency and grant your M5X that crisp, aggressive inline-six growl without sacrificing low-end torque.

Unlike restrictive, uneven OEM cast-iron manifolds, our design utilizes high-quality T304 stainless steel construction shaped by precision mandrel bending. This specialized process ensures a uniform pipe diameter throughout every bend to maximize exhaust gas velocity and eliminate internal turbulence. The flow-optimized, equal-length primary runners merge seamlessly into a heavy-duty cast stainless steel collector, creating a restriction-free transition that dramatically improves scavenging. Our refined design completely transforms your driving experience, delivering a deeper, more pronounced tone under load while remaining perfectly civilized and drone-free at cruising speeds.

Built to endure years of high-RPM track abuse and extreme thermal stress, these headers are engineered with longevity in mind. Every joint is meticulously TIG-welded for exceptional structural integrity, ensuring the tubes can handle intense heat cycling without cracking. To guarantee a permanent, leak-free seal, the headers feature thick, precision laser-cut flanges that aggressively resist warping over time. Best of all, this is a true, headache-free upgrade; they drop directly into the E36 chassis and mate perfectly with your factory mid-pipe using OEM gaskets and hardware, requiring absolutely no custom fabrication or modification.

aFe POWER Twisted Steel Long Tube Headers are crafted from near-equal-length 1-1/2 inch, 16-gauge 304 stainless steel tubing with robust flanges for a reliable, leak-free seal. Unlike formed collectors that create turbulence and restrict flow, these headers use true merge collectors and optimized tube lengths, enhancing flow and performance through advanced pulse control technology. Fully TIG-welded, the smooth curves and increased diameter minimize restriction, allowing exhaust gases to flow efficiently for boosted performance and durability. Dual high-flow, 300 CPSI metallic catalytic converters maximize flow, delivering impressive low-end torque gains. The kit includes all components for an easy, modification-free installation.
