Headers

Hi,

Now you might just see some
proper BHP improvements and
power gains on the old S54 with these
fitted and set up correctly.

BMW Motorsport P54 Race Headers.

Downside, LHD only and around
6k. No free sticker either.

Upside, although 6k, they do
actually improve the Powerband
not the bling.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

Nice but a bit on the expensive side for me.

They look great but they are still going to be very little gain per £££ due to the sheer price of them, if they work or not! Fook 6k on headers!

i reckon just about as much gain as loosing 8kg with a £150 Braille battery

Do they plug to the standard exhaust ?
What would be the power increase ?

Hi,

Alexk- I think these need to be run
on 2 x 65mm id pipes.

If I remember correctly they also
move the pre Cat O2 sensors
back further.
This is due to the Headers flowing
much better, so the exhaust gases
are a little cooler further back, so that
the readings are more acurate.

These have been known to make
a 12-15 BHP gain with the correct
set up, and a little more Torque.

Regards,

The Gorilla.
