Recommendation on header install kits for OEM Euro header.

[DropTopKingM3]

Hey guys, like the title says I'm looking for a recommendation on header install kits so I can have my oem euro headers installed. Ive been browsing through turner, bimmerworld, and ECS and see partial kits and full kits.

Also Ill be installing a euro section 1. Will I need new gaskets, rings, etc for that as well? Here's a kit i found but Im not sure if this is the kit for header to sec 1 or section 1 to section 2.. https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3...tion-kit-rear/


Thanks in advance.

That is for section 1 and back. You need this kit for the headers - https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-4...nd-gasket-kit/ and 2 of these for section 1 to 2 - https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3...xhaust-gasket/

Edit - actually, I'd check if they have the header kit without the exhaust studs or just buy those gaskets and bolts without the studs. Turner has the part numbers in the description

• 6 x 11627830667, manifold to head gaskets
• 18 x 11721437202, exhaust manifold nut
• 2 x 11627830668, manifold to section 1 crush rings
• 1 x 11727505259, air pump valve gasket
• 2 x 18307830674

Thank you very much! Would a turner kit be as good as oem?

Those Turner kits should be using OE BMW parts. If there is a large price difference between OE and OEM, I'd go with OEM Elring for the 6 manifold gasket 11627830667, 2 exhaust gaskets 18307830674 and 11727505259 air pump valve gasket as I am pretty sure they are supplying most (if not all) of the metal type gaskets to BMW.

Perfect, thanks for the advice!
