Benefits:
The Raceland Stainless Exhaust Header for the BMW E34, E36 and E39 fits all 6-cylinder engines and is made from the highest grade Stainless Steel T-304. Mandrel bent for peak performance. Mandrel bent means the tubing is laid inside the metal mold before it is shaped to its size of the bent. With mandrel bending there is hardly any distortion. Normally, when a tube is bent, it becomes smaller in the bent area. With mandrel bending the inner tube dimension stays the same to get maximum flow and therefore more horsepower and torque. These headers will give you an increase in horsepower of 8 to 12 at maximum rpm and a substantial increase in torque resulting in a much better throttle response at any rpm.
Because the headers are a direct bolt on design, fitted with pre-mounted CNC machined, stainless, flanges which fits directly to your cylinder head, it is easy to install these headers. At the end of the header system there is an open pipe that slides into or is welded to the present exhaust system. This connection may require some fabrication; this depends on your present exhaust system. One additional note, right hand drive models may require modification at the steering column.
The flow system is 6-2-1. There are 2 lambda sound or also called O2 sensor locations. Please note installation instructions are not included we highly recommend you have the headers installed at a muffler repair shop.
Recommended Maintenance:
- We recommend retightening the nuts that hold the header to the cylinder head 1 week after installation. Header studs and nuts are not included.
- It is best to clean the headers with 00 size steel wool on a monthly basis. This steel wool is available from any hardware store.
