No worries everything is fantastic. I would probably check the site they have a video on the header installed on a 3series. It sounds like a beast but too loud for my taste, I'm over the loud and pull me over THING!!! Haha been there done that!

Vividracing.com, also the price it crazy!!

So you posted it to see if anyone has it but you know you don't like it? Sounds amazing to me if we are watching the same video, but its an M3 and this site seems to only sell it for the M3 which would explain why it is so loud.

Just me or does it look like it is very fat right where the OBX header was an issue? Seems like it would hit the engine mount.

Why does OBx even make a header specifically for an e90 when it doesnt fit??

They could sell tons of them if they made it a direct bolt on.

The price of OBx is so tempting if they worked

Yeah that is the right one for the n52, thanks I was having problems loading the one from the site. This does fit e90 328i's 05+ wonder if it sounds different on our cars? Would it sound different combined with a different exshausts like PE, magnaflow, or borla etc.

What's even worse? Check out the MXP website. They don't even have a pic or ANY information about this header. The only header they have listed is for the Subaru!

I'm not spending over $1000 for a big question mark.

VAC and Fabspeed will be developing a real, dyno proven SS header after Fabspeed moves to their new facility in the next couple months. Be patient and it'll be worth it.

If you buy straight from Supersprint, yes. Dont forget you need to add the mid pipes with metalic-cats and their mufflers.

around 4k setup

It's going to be louder (maybe a bit raspy) because there are no cats in those headers like on our stock manifolds. It shouldn't be bad with a factory exhaust, or something like the PE which isn't loud to begin with.

have any idea on the price? I can't imagine them being near OBX's price, but I think around $500 and they'd sell a lot of them.

Absolutely. The header/exhaust combo pairing is a fun game for many car enthusiasts haha. I've seen identical cars with the same header and intake with a different exhaust. One sounded like a stock race car. The other sounded like a booming deep aggressive tone. Both sounded nice and the tone was shaped nicely by the exhaust of their choice.
