the headers on my M50 swap were from eBay and they worked. they are exactly the same as the ones on the site. be careful because they turn a weird purple color over time.

I have been paged. The ones I have are short tube race land headers.

If you're interested I can send you pics. They are "interesting" if you will.....

Those are the ones that are needed, if you have TreeHouse Racing CAB's the fit is a hell of a lot better or you will probably have to cut off the heat shield around the stock one. But, that being said they all with fit differently (ebay quality) and will work fine, the coloring does get really weird after like a month too lol

Lol yup they turn a weird purple neochrome

So I got my M50 longblock the other day.

I needed some parts for my swap so I got the following:

 

late model coolant reservoir

e28 535i motor mounts

M50 alternator (my longblock didn't come with one. I got it on the cheap!)

Then I filled up my corolla and went to milwaukee to meet with Snap and KaiserRolls for lunch.

I bought these headers off of KaiserRolls for my m50 swap for $50. The welding connecting them to the midpipe is almost too good to be true.

Then Kaiser drove me to meet up with Rampelsauce. I bought a zinnoberrot trunk + is spoiler off him for $40... Yes... I am in the back of an E30 coupe WITH an e30 trunk. So very spacious indeed (and I'm almost 6'2").

After a very dangerous drive back (freezing rain.. saw a lifted jeep with meaty tires spin off the interstate at 70mph smack right into a concrete wall under a bridge) my corolla had used less than half a tank to get to Milwaukee and back (I'm from madison; I filled my corolla up before I left)

I "Kryloned" the is spoiler and did the trunk swap. Here's how she sits.

They had to try and weld it when it was already on the car. So I can see how that would have posed a problem.

Excuses excuses kaiser! But thanks for them man! For 50 bucks it was the plug. It was awesome having lunch with you two goofballs. And you taxi'd me around all day. Mucho loveo señor
