Cat sounds great bro, these headers have been around a long time and have always been problematic. That rear section especially never lines up with the factory flanges. It's a tough job but you got through it💪

[@DriftSanti]

Thanks a ton man. Yeah it was a terrible job and I feel like its only finished for now. Thank you for watching and letting me know.

[@MarisaVelazquez-i5x]

May I ask where you purchased your headers this sounds great want on my e46 wagon

[@Willielee43]

Good job man i thought about but to much work for me im glad you got it done 🎉

[@DriftSanti]

@@Willielee43 Thank you. It's definately a tough job and not for everyone. Hell Im not sure its for me a 2nd time

[@steviestevereno]

I seen on Nate’s garage he cut and grounded out some space between each port on the header mount plate basically giving it a little flex for install . Im going to tackle this soon and do the same

[@DriftSanti]

I may do that on the next set for the b30 engine im working on.

[@Thatsilvere46]

About to start installing mine today hopefully it goes well about to cut the 02 sensors down on the headers,

[@DriftSanti]

Heck yeah man. Good luck its not easy but its basically necessary on these cars.

[@fa11en.1k8]

[@DriftSanti]

Thank you!!

i ordered ebay headers for my 01 330ci few years ago.. had my engine out anyways. threw them on, dropped the engine in and the last o2 bung is too long and wrong angle. swapped my factory ones back in, ebay headers still hanging out in the garage lol atleast till im commited to do a o2 and secondary air pump delete with the proper tune. anyways thanks good video, good info

[@antoniobarrientos1230]

Nice video, where I get headers like that for my bmw 325i 2004 4 doors e46, and what 02 I have to connect, the top or the bottom.

[@omandsr]

Did you have problems with the headers hitting the motor mount

[@DesRod4013]

[@DriftSanti]

[@fasier0172]

[@DriftSanti]

[@Lust_won]

@@DriftSanti you're a wizard thank you

[@0214440556]

Have you noticed any performance improvements since the install? Thanks for the great video btw

[@DriftSanti]

Thank you. I have actually. My car is high miles so I am sure my cats were well clogged. This freed up the car a bit so revs climb much nicer. Idk about actual power but doesnt feel choked out. Also sound. I been drifting a long time but never had a drift car I could actually hear. Lol.

[@0214440556]

@@DriftSanti thanks for the reply. The sound adds a lot of character to a car.
