Header & Mid-Pipe

Long Tube Headers: Formed Collectors: 3-to-1 mitered collectors decrease turbulence and increases exhaust velocity. The result is increased horsepower, torque and improved throttle response. Optimized Tube Lengths: Tube lengths are optimized for true pulse control technology which improves flow and performance. 3/8" Laser-Cut Flanges: These headers come with 3/8" thick laser-cut head flanges that are designed to match the head port for a leak-free seal. Mid-Pipe: Dual High Flow Catalytic Converters: This system utilizes 400 CPSI (cell per square inch) 48-state legal catalytic converters are used for maximum flow. Construction: Constructed of mandrel-bent dual 1.625" stainless steel piping which transitions into single 2" piping to reduce back pressure and improve flow. Leak-Free Seal: High quality OE style flanges and band clamps are used for a complete 360 degree sealing surface. Hassle-Free Installation: The performance header and Mid-Pipe are designed to fit in the stock location with an included extension pipe which allows this system to fit without modification. This system incorporates OE style hangers, flanges and includes O2 extensions for a hassle-free installation. *All aFe headers and Mid-Pipe systems are engineered and manufactured in our Corona, California manufacturing facility.

Note for Australian and European Markets

Unless otherwise stated, this product may be engineered for use in Left-Hand Drive vehicles. Steering components, pedals, shifters, linkages, wing mirrors, instrument clusters, panhard rods/traction bars, drag links, brake boosters, brake or clutch lines, accelerator cables, heater cores, some master cylinders and adjacent parts can vary between LHD and RHD configurations. In some models compenents such as windscreen wiper arms, motors and linkages could differ in their size and orientation. Items such as floor mats & dash mats may have differences in their structure around the front row (or padding in different locations). In many cases items are identical depending on the design of the vehicle and part, but may have differing mounts, lengths or bolt patterns. Carefully review the product images and details to ensure suitability for your vehicle, or contact StreetFX support if you are unsure. Returns are not accepted for special order products.

Reference Information

Headers, Twisted Steel, 3-1 Two-Piece, Stainless Steel, Natural, BMW, Kit

aFe Twisted Steel headers are constructed of 409 stainless steel tubing with thick, CNC-machined flanges to ensure a leak-free seal. They incorporate a merge collector design, reducing the turbulence that occurs when using the traditional form collector-style designs. The performance gains are obvious when coupled with a high-flow Y-pipe. The aFe headers feature a tuned length primary that is out-flowing the stock manifolds by as much as 46 percent. Order the style and configuration tailored to your vehicle and engine application.
